I loved this book! What fun! A team of four retired female assassins in their early 60s suddenly have a hit taken out on them, and now they‘re on the job again to eliminate the threat. They kick all kinds of ass, they are smart, fearless, and still in pretty good shape, they can still kill with the best of them, and they can MacGyver themselves out of any situation. And they‘re snarky and funny. Jason Bourne, eat your heart out.

I did not have any 5-star fiction reads this month, but Killers of a Certain Age was exciting, action-packed, and funny.

I liked Big Swiss a lot and I was hoping it would win, but it faltered a bit and at times I was not really sure what it was going for.

Before the Coffee Gets Cold and The Raging Storm were both just fine, nothing remarkable.

I was getting service done on my truck. What better ways to spend time than finishing this book. I have one more spot in the #ISpyBingoFebruary. Yep, I'm still working on this one. This is the first in the series of Nadia Stafford. She is a police officer turned assassin. #SeriesLove24 #ReadAway2024 #MarvelousMarchReadsthon. @Andrew65 @TheSpineView @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES #LitsyLoveReads

TheSpineView Hate waiting on car service. They always want to sell you something or get you to test drive a new car. All I want is to sit, read and be left alone. 2mo
LiseWorks @TheSpineView they have been after me for 2 years to trade my truck in. It's 5 years old and all paid for. Why would I go into debt to get a new one? lol. I keep telling them no. I don't even look cause I know I would be tempted 🤣 2mo
TheSpineView @LiseWorks Mine is 10 years old but only has 100K on it. Like you, I don't want car payments. I am not tempted. I still enjoy mine and plan to drive it until the doors fall off. 2mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! And I'm with you on keeping the current car... the guy is always like “your current car is very desirable, so we're interested in acquiring it.“ Yeah, it's desirable to ME 😂 2mo
LiseWorks @TheAromaofBooks oh I have to use that line next time. 🤣 2mo

3.5/5⭐ It feels weird to say this about a book whose main characters are assassins and kill people throughout, but it is fun. It is refreshing to read about older kickass women. The writing is a little weak and repetitive, reminding the reader of events/details that are explained just the chapter before. #bookspin

#12Booksof2023 This was my favorite book of August, as well as my favorite book for the year!
Four female assassins in their sixties, who've been working as a team for forty years, finally decide it's time to retire. What starts as a retirement celebration cruise ends much differently than they'd planned. @Andrew65

janeycanuck I still think about this one! I need to pick up more by her. 5mo
Andrew65 A popular book. 5mo

I read a lot of books that I really liked this year! But I think Killers of A Certain Age just really stuck with me because the premise of the story was one I hadn't read before. The Last Devil to Die was a very, very close second- I absolutely loved that entire series!

I really had fun with this one—it reminded me of The Thursday Murder Club combined with the movie Red with Bruce Willis. The assassin & agency stuff was interesting & the characters entertaining & I enjoyed the mature woman-power vibe. I‘d love another book with these women & it made me want to move the author‘s other books higher on my TBR.

(Just one more book in the #BOTM challenge that I should finish sometime this week! 📚🎉📚)
