Review:
Kills Well with Others by Deanna Raybourn is the 2nd book in her Killers of a Certain Age series. Our heroines, Billie, Mary Alice, Helen and Natalie, have worked for the secret Museum, an elite private network of assassins for 40 years. This was a fun, exciting & and entertaining novel. I really enjoyed this story, as this book was even better then the first book.
The retired deadly women assassins are back. After more than a year of laying low & resting, the ladies (Billie, Helen, Mary Alice, Natalie) are called back into action. The head of the elite assassin organization (Museum), Naomi, recalls them as it seems that someone may be seeking revenge against those connected to the Museum and it is up to our ladies to the find answers.
They meet together to find out who is out to kill them, and though they are in their 60’s, they are such a riot, and wonderful friends, having been together for 40 years. Their assignments can be bloody, cold, intense& exciting, but they are also witty/charming, as they also protect each other. These women are deadly assassins for their international organization that eliminated unsavory people in various governments. But they were now retired, and yet they still get called to return to work to help eliminate the leaders who have targeted them.
Kills Well with Others has a fun, action filled, humor, friendship and exciting mystery; with plenty of humor and snark. Kills Well with Others was a fabulous fast and fun read; which was very well written by Deanna Raybourn. If you enjoy mysteries, thrillers, crime, and women who are fantastic together as government assassins.
