Loved the concept of this book, but not the biggest fan of the execution. Which is super unfortunate 😕

Despite all the killing, Killers of a Certain Age was a fun read.  Only the main character, Billie/the narrator, was fully fleshed out as a character, but if this becomes a series, I hope we'll get to know the rest as well.  The assassinations were both inventive and exciting.  I think you'd like this book if you prefer a slightly humorous take on assassins.  I especially liked the depictions of women around the age of 60.
