This was a fun read! The protagonists are four women of 60 years old, about to retire from
their careers as international assassins. Someone tries to kill them and they have to figure out what is going on before the killer can strike again.
If the plot sounds pretty tried and true, you are not wrong. The things that makes it feel fresh are the way the author deals with gender, aging, women’s friendships, and the accoutrements of domesticity. That and a fair amount of humor in the narrative voices.
I listened to the audiobook and the vocal performances by Jane Oppenheimer and Christina Delaine brought the characters to life and added dimension to the story.
Solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
