"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"
Library cards are a great thing to have... and this week I used my Pickens County Library Card and downloaded Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn. A light, "fun" read by a writer that is primarily known for her 2 Victorian Mystery series that star bright female protagonists. Killers of a Certain Age is set in contemporary times, starring 4 women who were recruited while in college and trained to be international assasins for a group working outside of the "system". They've been at it for 40 years now and are on their retirement cruise... but it's not all fun and games and something is afoot on that ship...
Buzzfeed summed up its' review of this book as "The Golden Girls meets James Bond thriller."
Do you have a library card?
Published September of last year by Penguin Random House, be on the lookout for my review...

This one sounds cool.
It might make a good movie.
Yes, I have a library card. I attend alot of speaker programs they have. I also use it for Bridges/Overdrive books online.
I know the book is all fun and games but I didn't finish it being old fashioned and thinking these older women shouldn't have been doing this, ha, ha.
Have a good week.
