Summary:

“Billie, Mary Alice, Helen, and Natalie have worked for the Museum, an elite network of assassins, for forty years. Now their talents are considered old-school and no one appreciates what they have to offer in an age that relies more on technology than people skills.

When the foursome is sent on an all-expenses paid vacation to mark their retirement, they are targeted by one of their own. Only the Board, the top-level members of the Museum, can order the termination of field agents, and the women realize they’ve been marked for death.

Now to get out alive they have to turn against their own organization, relying on experience and each other to get the job done, knowing that working together is the secret to their survival. They’re about to teach the Board what it really means to be a woman–and a killer–of a certain age.”

Review:

“Only women are ever called persnickety; men get to be ‘detail-oriented.”

Are you looking for a new action-packed story with kick-ass women and a little espionage? Then you’ll want to add Killers of a Certain Age to your fall reading list!

This book was an absolute hoot; it was fun, adventurous, and a quick read. Plus, I adored all the quirky but lovable characters. They had me laughing and then holding my breath as I read along in their attempt to decipher who was trying to kill them.

While it should be obvious, Killers of a Certain Age does lean heavily on the spy stuff, but honestly, that’s what makes it so fun. So lean into it and enjoy the ride!

There is some back story about Billie, but not much regarding the other character’s pasts. So, I’m crossing my fingers that this means there will be a series coming focusing on the histories of the other three ladies. If so, I can’t wait to read on with Billie, Mary Alice, Helen, and Natalie.

🥳 An absolute hoot full of adventure
💨 Quick read; I stayed up way too late to finish
🤩 Ending leaves it open for more books
👀 Espionage
🥰 Lovable, quirky characters
