Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn

3.0

Cool idea but weak execution because it draggeddddddd. Characters weren’t unique or particularly likeable, overdid the “elderly women” and it read like a debut novel. Can’t believe she actually said something was ageist

Writing is very powerful and moving but I just hate self-pitying characters that spend the whole book being miserable and making other people miserable

Enjoyable but it dragged on for so long only for everything to happen in the last 10 pages 😭 if I tried to explain the plot to someone else they would laugh out loud so silly

Explaining the plot out loud would be ridiculous but it makes for a fun quick read I won’t lie
