The girl gang of my middle-aged dreams. Five women, trained killers, must put their skills to the test when they become targets for assassination by the agency that employs them. Through flashbacks, readers learn how these women came to be killers and how they were trained. Once on the run, the women must learn to trust each other again after their resources are stolen and their covers burned. While we learn something about each killer, some characters' backgrounds are filled in better than others. Still, an exciting well-paced story about never underestimating or undervaluing older women.
