Killers of a Certain Age

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.
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.

Denise's recommendation.
Very enjoyable. Fast paced
Yes. I had fun with this one. I read about 20pages about 2 mos ago and wasn't feeling it. Then picked it up again and I really enjoyed this. Love the characters- 4 strong older women with strong wit. They work together well to get the job done. The also are good friends who have each other's back. This is what retirement should look like. Excited to see if there is a sequel. Would have been nice to see a little more diversity in the 4 women, but if theres a movie- I'm watching it. Can see it in my mind right now...
I loved this story and set up. The older women kicking ass was the bomb. The attitudes you got from them was fantastic.
