Kills well with others

Deanna Raybourn

Book - 2025

"Four women assassins, senior in status-and in age-sharpen their knives for another bloody good adventure in this riotous follow-up to the New York Times bestselling sensation Killers of a Certain Age. After more than a year of laying low, Billie, Helen, Mary Alice, and Natalie are called back into action. They have enjoyed their time off, but the lack of excitement is starting to chafe: a professional killer can only take so many watercolor classes and yoga sessions without itching to strangle someone...literally. When they receive a call from the head of the elite assassin organization known as the Museum, they are ready tackle the greatest challenge of their careers. Someone on the inside has compiled a list of important kills commi...tted by Museum agents, connected to a single, shadowy figure, an Eastern European gangster with an iron fist, some serious criminal ambition, and a tendency to kill first and ask questions later. This new nemesis is murdering agents who got in the way of their power hungry plans and the aging quartet of killers is next. Together the foursome embark on a wild ride across the globe on the double mission of rooting out the Museum's mole and hunting down the gangster who seems to know their next move before they make it. Their enemy is unlike any they've faced before, and it will take all their killer experience to get out of this mission alive"--

Review by Library Journal Review

For years, sixtysomething Billie Webster and her three colleagues--Helene, Mary Alice, and Natalie--were professional assassins working for a British organization called the Museum. They've retired, but after a massive shake-up when members of the administration tried to kill them, the four women have been called back. Someone has killed an assassin, and the death may be connected to a recent security breach. Worst of all, the women could be targets because of a case in the past when they took out a Bulgarian. Are they targets of the man's son? They accomplish their goal of killing their target onboard the Queen Mary 2, but it only grows more complicated with a web that goes back to World War II and art smuggling. Now, as they hide in plain sight, and travel across Europe and Asia, they attempt to complete a job they started over 30 years earlier. VERDICT Fans of Killers of a Certain Age will enjoy the return of the four senior assassins whose escapades from the past and present are intermixed in a fast-paced, humorous adventure. The books stand out for their wit and unlikely friendships.--Lesa Holstine
