Desperate to keep her family afloat, she answers a mysterious classified ad for the Smile Detective Agency—and within weeks, her life undergoes a terrifyingly radical turnaround. Sharp as a blade, impeccably clean at handling business, and tight-lipped as a padlock when it comes to secrets, Mrs Shim proves to be a natural. By day, she preps traditional kimchi for her family and her neighbor with dementia; by night, she slips out to fulfill high-stakes contracts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eWhat begins as a desperate bid for survival quickly escalates into a fierce, intoxicating thirst for vengeance. Done with being everyone’s doormat, Mrs Shim dives headfirst into an underworld of petty criminals, ghosts, and assassins, only to find her long-buried past hurtling back to catch up with her. Savage, darkly comedic, and unexpectedly moving, Kang Jiyoung crafts a brilliant world of twisted love, unhinged loathing, and hopeful reinvention—delivering a razor-sharp commentary on class, capitalism, and the relentless resilience of women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhy this book is a must-have:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCult International Hit:\u003c\/b\u003e A sensational Korean thriller already drawing massive acclaim for fans of dark, witty suspense like \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"124\"\u003eButter\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"135\"\u003eKilling Eve\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eUnforgettable Protagonist:\u003c\/b\u003e Meet Mrs Shim—an iconic, multi-layered \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"66\"\u003eajumma\u003c\/i\u003e balancing domestic life with a booming nocturnal assassination career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBrilliant Tone Blend:\u003c\/b\u003e Effortlessly weaves dark comedy, visceral suspense, sharp social critique, and deep emotional heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eExpert Translation:\u003c\/b\u003e Beautifully translated into English by Paige Morris, capturing every ounce of Kang Jiyoung’s signature wit and menace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eUnleash your inner rebel.
