'Scuse Me While I Kill This Guy

About This Audiobook

Imagine *The Middle* meets *Kick-Ass* with a side of sarcastic mom-meets-assassin chaos. Gin Bombay isn’t your average suburban single parent—she’s a third-generation secret weapon whose most pressing daily concerns include underpaid daycare and whether the dog ate her best stiletto. When a shadowy mission lands in her lap, she’s forced to balance PTA meetings with precision marksmanship, all while her 5-year-old sidekick mistakes her silenced pistol for a toy. Leslie Langtry crafts a razor-sharp romantic suspense-comedy where the only thing quicker than Gin’s wit is her trigger finger, blending military-grade thrills with the unglamorous reality of parenting. The result? A binge-worthy audiobook that makes you laugh, cringe, and cling to your seat cushion during surprise shootouts—often simultaneously. While the plot occasionally stretches disbelief with its absurd scenarios, Langtry’s knack for snappy dialogue and escalating stakes keeps the momentum thrilling. The world-building thrives on small-town quirks and family secrets, giving even the most ludicrous twists a weirdly plausible backbone. Emily Durante’s narration doesn’t just carry the story—she *enhances* it, channeling Gin’s exasperated mom voice with a lethal dose of dry humor and impeccable timing.
