Pardon me but imo, this is one of the stupidest books I’ve ever read. I even tried to return it but it had been on “sale” for me. Finally, I fell asleep at about 3 hours in and woke up after it had ended. I tried to get back into it (as if I ever could) to no avail. There were at least a dozen chapters in the middle section I never did get to –  oh well …   (If I’m enjoying a book and fall asleep I go back to where it makes total sense and go from there. I don’t skip stuff. This one I truly didn’t care.)

KIllers of a Certain Age
 by Deanna Raybourn
2022 / 
Read by Jane Oppenheimer
Rating: D (did-not-finish)

Four single women of a certain age (early 50s, I’d say) have been working for a UK based outfit known to them as “the Museum.”   There they have served as executioners (assassins) for various international groups since college days when they were recruited. The four now perceive they are being let go, fired, retired. And it will be by bullet actually.

I was not amused – I’m well into senior status and retirement (by a dozen years) to where I’m now an elderly person.  

These gals (and that word is probably appropriate) have the attitudes, mouthy ways,  and sexual appetites they had when they were newly hired.  Their job is “to eliminate people who need killing.” 

No thanks.  

To be fair, Maureen Corrigan over at the Washington Post had a different take:

And GoodReads readers gave it a 5!  (Oh my)
