    About this ebook

    To Mary Jo and to her partner and lover, Jean, nothing made sense about the contract to kill a regular housewife in a normal subdivision.

    Especially since the target was so easy and had no connection to the person paying millions for the assassination.

    No obvious connections.

    A very twisted Mary Jo Assassin story.

      THE CURIOUS REASON FOR DEATH

      A MARY JO ASSASSIN STORY

      Mary Jo took a long sip of her vodka and orange juice and placed the glass back on the end table, making sure to use the cartoon-cat coaster her host had provided. The orange juice tasted fresh and the vodka seemed to be a higher-level without the back taste, so all good. Even the ice seemed to be from a modern icemaker in a fridge.
