With her children evacuated and her husband at the front, Tory Pace is grudgingly sharing the family home with her irascible mother; working at the local gelatin factory—to help the war effort—and generally doing just about as well as could be expected in difficult times. Her quiet life is thrown into turmoil, however, when her prisoner-of-war husband, Donald, makes an outrageous demand for sexual gratification. He wants a dirty letter! Horrified, at first, that Donald is being turned into some sort of monster by the Nazis, Tory’s disgust gradually gives way to a sense of marital duty, and taking in the libraries, bookshops, public conveniences and barbers’ shops of South-East London, she begins a quest to master the language of carnal desire: a quest that takes a sudden and unexpected turn into far more dangerous territory. Beginning with an act of unintentional cannibalism, and flirting with a scheme to end world hunger by the use of protein pills, Letters from an Unknown Woman ranges widely across the Continent and yet always returns home: to family, to people, to relationships. Woodward offers a prescient examination of the ways in which we both nurture and consume each other in the face of adversity.

IN BOOK 23 OF THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN SERIES: Donna and Jack Craig are on an around-the-world mission to retrieve nine digital directories listing names of intelligence operatives—one belonging to the United States, the other eight belonging to its allies and enemies—as they are sold by the highest bidder by an anonymous terrorist. At the same time, Jack thinks he has reasons to question Donna's love for him. Will saving their country cost the Craigs their marriage? PRAISE FOR THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN NOVELS: "Brown's unorthodox surprises did make me laugh. I taught it in a class about comic novels." —Jane Smiley "This book hits all the right notes...I now want a week at the beach to read them all...I'm completely smitten." -- Barbara Vey READERS LOVE THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN SERIES TOO: "Brown's writing is vivid, concise and humorous. At the same time, she manages to convey the seriousness of the situations that the Craigs and Acme find themselves in. I hated all the right characters, believed every bit of the situations presented and most of all, loved Donna and her family." "Love the details that Josie adds to her series. I learn so much and often come away feeling as if I was right there immersed into the plots and deeds. Love my Josie Brown domestic thriller novels. Five stars and love." "Another amazing suspense that kept me glued to the book. For the twentieth time with this series, I was unable to put the romantic comedies book down from the moment I opened it. I absolutely love Jack and Donna and their adventures and brushes with death." "Oh, my heartstrings...Josie Brown took them up to dizzying heights, twisted them into various shapes, then threw them on such a roller coaster ride that I think I may have whiplash. The characters were there to love, the locales vivid and exciting, it almost seemed like a vacation- notwithstanding the murder and espionage. Thank you for another exciting Kindle thrillers read." "Can't wait for the next one (already). Love all of Josie Brown's funny mysteries books! I normally read these in a day or two—can’t put them down." "Brilliant! Josie has excelled herself with this romantic comedy book! A gripping, exciting read as always, but with an additional twist. Couldn't put it down!"
