Older women often feel invisible, but sometimes that’s their secret weapon. They’ve spent their lives as the deadliest assassins in a clandestine international organization, but now that they’re sixty years old, four women friends can’t just retire – it’s kill or be killed in this action-packed thriller by New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-nominated author Deanna Raybourn.

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.

Killers of a Certain Age, by Deanna Raybourn

4 stars

The quartet of Billie, Helen, Natalie, and Mary Alice were supposed to kick off their retirement after decades of service to the Museum with a luxury cruise and a very large pension but, as Deanna Raybourn’s very satisfying thriller, Killers of a Certain Age kicks off, they learn that another operative has been sent to kill them off before they can enjoy the rewards of their hard work. Through flashbacks to different points in Billie’s career as an assassin, we learn more about what the Museum is and also how very, very deadly Billie and her team are. This book was a complete delight to read...

4 stars

This was so fun. A group of women assassins in their 60s are enjoying a retirement cruise when they realize their company is trying to kill them off. Sort of like Red, but with women. Absolutely wonderful. We need more books like this.
