Loved the concept of this book, but not the biggest fan of the execution. Which is super unfortunate 😕

What a cute, fun book. I love me a curmudgeon! There’s a bunch in this book, older lady killers. They’re smart, seasoned, and bad ass. I love how they come together. Lots of clever assassination scenes. It’s definitely hilarious with great one liners. Highly recommend if you like hilarious situations and aging badasses.

I absolutely loved this book. I am not usually one to tag quotes while I read, but there are several sticky notes sticking out of the side of this book. Getting to read a story about women over the age of fifty is a novelty and I'm glad it stood up to the challenge. Billie is a great narrator and I love the banter between women who have known eachother for decades. It also was just twisty enough that I was never certain how it was going to end and I appreciate that. I hope that the success of this book might encourage other authors to write books where there characters aren't all in their twenties and thirties.
