I  thought this was just perfection. I absolutely flew through it, and it was one of those reads where I got mad at other tasks in my life that took me away from it lol. The writing is tight and descriptive, the story flowed forward effortlessly, and I LOVED older women getting to be the heroes. What a treat. I can't wait to read this author again. And that she dedicated it to anyone who identifies as female and feels rage - that got me right in the ol' ticker.

It’s not Shakespeare, but I don’t really care. I tore through this book and I had a whale of a time from start to finish. It’s just so much fun watching 60 year old women solve the mystery of why they were targeted for assassination, kicking ass the whole time as former assassins themselves. I’m only taking a fraction of a point off because the audiobook narration is a little dodgy (two separate narrators who seemed to have real trouble keeping consistency in the voice and accents of characters). Other than that, this was a brilliant, bizarrely empowering romp.

There are Nazis mentioned. There’s one

that is killed in the book

but otherwise doesn’t matter too much. Very cool story.
