Really enjoyed this fast-paced action mystery-thriller. If you liked the movie RED (Retired Extremely Dangerous) with Bruce Willis and Helen Mirren, you’ll probably enjoy this one about a quad of 60-something old school gals who are ready to close their career chapter of their secret assassin lives and get one  helluva “final assignment”

In spirit of yes, no, maybe… this book is a maybe. It is a fun assassin story & a story of friendship. The author most definitely did a great job of doing their homework/research for this book; however, in my opinion, they may have tried too hard at times to be funny & it came off at cringe & some jokes did not land. BUT for the most part it was good & funny. This is definitely a palate cleanser book & a fun read! The audiobook was also a great add to the experience.
