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.
