I loved the artwork but the story wasn't my thing. Might try it again at a later date as my reading moods change.

Lovely art, a little gory, good storyline.
I enjoyed this as much as I did mostly because it featured a female lead, which to me is a breath of fresh air for this kind of a story.

Eu AMEI tudo nessa graphic novel: o humor afiado presente no roteiro, a arte incrível, muita ação e reviravoltas... Recomendo demais!

I loved this book. I read it off of a coworker's recommendation. (Basically she pulled my trick of "Here. You HAVE to read these! They're the best thing ever!" while pushing a pile of graphic novels in my hands.) I love the art, I love the housewife leading a double life as a covert operative story. I just love the overall aesthetic to the work.

A homemaker, housewife, and killer in the 1960's trying to balance work life and her home life. Pretty great illustrations and story that wraps it up rather nicely in one volume, I hope they continue this because it's great and they strongly hint at a volume 2! The art in this book is pretty amazing and the spoof art in the back is really fun! This book I would suggest for mature readers. ~Ashley

medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Adoro as ilustrações da Joelle, e gostei da trama da dona de casa ser uma assassina de aluguel nas horas vagas.
A gente compra a ideia de que enganar todo mundo podia realmente acontecer, porque tudo acontece numa época onde mulheres não eram valorizadas e eram facilmente descartadas. Então era normal deduzir que elas não eram inteligentes o suficiente e nem tinham sangue frio pra esse trabalho.
E o traço deixa tudo bem realista, é o tipo perfeito pra esse tipo de estória. E tem muito sangue! Recomendo.
