5/29/2023 0 Comments Review killers of a certain ageInitially started by disgruntled US and British agents, who were annoyed that Nazis were allowed to escape justice after WWII, The Museum now fields teams of assassins who take out perpetrators of evil around the globe. We see Billie, Mary Alice, Helen, and Natalie twenty years ago as they are recruited and trained by a showy extra-governmental agency called The Museum. There are two interwoven timelines throughout the book. Raybourn excels at strong female protagonists, and KILLERS OF A CERTAIN AGE brings us a marvelous quartet of strong and capable women served up with feminist pizzazz. She has written the Lady Julia Grey historical mystery series, which is an absolute joy, and is currently providing us with the fabulous Veronica Speedwell historical mystery series that features an intrepid and freewheeling lepidopterist-cum-sleuth. KILLERS OF A CERTAIN AGE is a standalone mystery thriller from the indomitable Deanna Raybourn, whose writing I adore.
