2022 book 136

 Deanna Raybourn's Killers of a Certain Age

This… was fun. I want to see a movie based on this book. It’s the story of a group of four women, who were the first all-women squad of assassins trained by an elite organization of Nazi-hunters (who’ve moved onto other targets these days). But after forty years they’re retired and on a cruise to celebrate…until they realize one of the cruise crew is a fellow assassin and the organization has put a hit on THEM. So now they’re on the run trying to figure out who’s behind this, and why! Interspersed with flashbacks to their training, early missions, etc. You do have to suspend a fair amount of disbelief that sixty-something women would be doing ~hand waves~ all that, but it is entertaining for sure. A-.
