My Maryland book club is well aware of my penchant for picking up books based on their title. True to myself, I chose this book because of the title. More than that, it caught my attention because of how people often use the phrase "being of a certain age" It usually is a polite way of referring to an older individual. It is their way of being politically correct. Honestly, the book could have easily been called Killers Put Out to Pasture. Maybe someday I will write a book with that title though on second thought I think not. I have been working on my great novel for the past six years, and that doesn't even qualify as a working title! Anyway, the book grabbed my attention right away.
The story revolves around four women of a certain age, who are being gently retired from their agency, ominously named "the Museum." As part of their farewell, they are gifted an all-expenses-paid cruise, where the agency hopes they will, quite literally, sail off into the sunset. Based on the title, it’s clear these women are paid assassins. When an unexpected incident occurs, one of them finds her instincts kicking in—her Spidey senses tell her something is just not right. It soon becomes evident that they’ve been marked as targets.
They take matters in their own hands by dealing with the "hit people" out to get them. After all, if some of the best assassins in the business can't get to the bottom of this, who can?
This is a perfect summer read, and it is not a rom com.
