Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna RaybournMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Billie, Mary Alice, Natalie and Helen have worked together as assassins for "The Museum" for the past 40 years. Having retired at age 60, they are offered an all-expenses paid cruise by their employer. Soon after boarding, they realize that they have been targeted by one of their colleagues. False rumors about them have been spread to The Museum powers-that-be, resulting in the hit on their lives.
We follow the four in their attempts to stave off being killed, while figuring out who started the rumors and who in The Museum is actually involved. The book combines light hearted, humorous passages with serious plotting and assassinations. There are flashbacks to early 'jobs', and it's obvious that these four ladies have a long-standing friendship, willing to do anything for others in their group.
This was a quick and fun read. I loved reading how these ladies were continually underestimated and dismissed due to their age and the fact that they were women! I also enjoyed finding out more about their backstories and their jobs together. I'm looking forward to reading the second book in this series, and can definitely envision this being made into a streaming series.
