Raybourn's second installment in her series following the near geriatric assassins hits all the notes (plus a few new ones) that made the first one so enjoyable. I love Raybourn's ability to capture a place despite constantly changing settings in her international capers. She leaves you there to get the sense of the place, the people, the vibe of how it moves, just long enough to move the story where it needs to go before you're swept along somewhere new.

I love these books and the fact that the second was just as much fun as the first has me going back through the author's catalogue to see what other gems could be hiding there. Highly recommend.

I was hoping that Raybourn was going to bring back Billie, Helen, Mary Alice, and Nat for another adventure and now we have Kills Well With Others! In this one, the ladies' boss, Naomi, is dealing with a new baby and the changes to her Museum division while she was on leave. In the midst of the recent murder of a retired Museum agent, Naomi enlists our heroes on the side to kill the person she believes responsible, only to find out that things are not what they seem and the women and those that they love are in danger. I enjoyed this one even more than the first with all of the interesting locales, the fact that we got to see all of the characters interact with their loved ones, and the flashbacks about Billie and how she grew to be the person that she is. I will be recommending this title highly. A big thank you to Berkley and NetGalley for the early access in exchange for my honest opinion. 4.5 big stars

The retired assassins are back in their next adventure. I love the writing of Rayburn and how she includes the datils of aging without making the whole adventure about the aging of the women.

Golden Girls meets Charlies Angels, with the physical and mental wit of both sets. Occasionally bloody and cold but also witty and charming. They're still mentally growing, learning, finding themselves, coming to terms with their lives. It just happens amid deadly cat and mouse games across the world and leads them to saving and opera singer in Italy and having a show down on a cruise and a train.

Some new characters make their way into this book and we have some flashbacks and old characters making a return appearance.

Overall, the pacing and action, humor and heart, and the friendships and history, all come together to create a must read addition to this fantastic series.

Thank you to Deanna Raybourn, Berkley Publishing, and NetGalley for allowing me to read a free ebook in exchange for an honest review.

This is the second installment in Deanna Raybourn's series that begins with Killers of a Certain Age. The main characters of this fictional series are 60-something year-old retired hitwomen who worked for many decades for an organization that you've never heard of that rids the world of very bad people.

I love that the main characters' personalities are fully fleshed out for the reader to fit right into their bickering, complicated friendships and yet we watch from the wings as characters in the story meet these seemingly unimportant, uninteresting middle-aged women who are frequently underestimated! I also love the exotic scenery, the complex plot told in multiple timelines, and the fact that the bad guys go down in the end! I highly recommend this series to every woman of a certain age!

Billie and the girls are back together when it appears that someone has leaked information about them from the agency they were assassins for and are now retired from. A wonderful read full of adventure, murder and fun. It showcases the power of female friendships.

this is a great follow up to one of my favorite books ever. i really enjoyed seeing the characters in action again and getting to know some of their SOs as well. my only complaint was that it was a bit slow in the middle, but otherwise engaging and entertaining.

Another amazing book with these hilarious ladies. Although the situations find themselves seem mostly implausible, it is still a fun, exciting, and entertaining reading experience!

I didn't love this one as much as I loved Killers of a Certain Age, but it was fun to catch up with the gals and see how they got themselves out of their new peril. Hope there's a 3rd book in the series!

Another fun book about older female assassins. I think it was even better than the first one. ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

For the second time in a row, fun was had. I love the snark in these books, especially as I progress further into middle age, because it's snark coming from a place of being a woman of a certain age who has been in her skin for a long time. We just don't really care what you think of us anymore. I also really loved how capable these women are. They have been killers for decades, and they are wildly good at what they do. They also are unashamed about what their role in the world is, they see themselves as "necessary monsters" and accept that they do what they do to keep more innocent people safe. I think in the next few years, especially as we middle-aged women are having to more and more embrace our sense of rage, more of us are going to find ways to be "necessary monsters".

Loved this sequel to "Killers of a Certain Age." This was a fun return to intrigue and adventure with the smart, funny, and intelligent agents from the Museum. It was also nice to get a glimpse at early missions and Billie's evolution as an agent.

I enjoyed Killers of a Certain Age and was happy to see another book featuring the four female assassins who are in their golden years. The book did not disappoint. It was fun to follow the team across Europe as they were being hunted by someone out to get revenge. Of course, some of the action was over the top but that was offset by how clever the team was in using their individual areas of expertise to recognize clues and stay one step ahead of their hunter.

I had such a good time reading these books! I really enjoyed Killers of a Certain Age, and I'm delighted that it got a sequel, but of course I had to reread before I could continue on, since it has been a few years since I read the first book.

Killers of a Certain Age, I love it. I loved it the first time I read it, and I loved it again! I loved being back with these characters, as they fought to survive. Knowing now that they have a further adventure, I went in knowing that their story wasn't over, and I was eager to continue on!

Kills Well With Others, was just a blast to read! To know that certain promises weren't being held, was pretty annoying. But to have case with a mole, yeah, I had to see what was going to come of it, all the reveals and clever goings on!

We also got more time in the past, which I absolutely loved, to see parts of what made them who they were. Especially where Billy made a mistake and killed someone who wasn't the target. They were more nimble, but they had less experience. These characters are memorable and amazing to read about!

Loved reading these books, and I'll say it again-I would love to spend more time with these characters!

This book picks up right where the last one ended with the four friends on a new adventure. This is the second in the series, and this is one that I definitely think you need to read in order to understand. This book didn’t really have much build up of the characters at all, rather we were dropped right into the action. It was a little unnerving and I wish that the author would have given a little more reminder of who the characters were and how we got where we were. This book was fun in that it had flashbacks into the past which really helped develop the characters further and give some insight. I think that this is a well done book that sheds light into the fact that just because we are aging doesn’t make us incapable or useless. These women are all in their sixties and kicking butt.

If you are looking for an action packed thriller then you need to check this one out.

Four women of a "certain age" are called out of retirement for one last assignment. . They were a well trained group of assassins for a super secret organization known as The Museum. Someone is trying to kill them and there is a mole in The Museum. Get ready for another adventure with these unforgettable ladies.

Always a pleasure to spend time in the world that Raybourn creates. This series would do well to continue with a couple more entries. Characters are fantastic, definitely needs to be optioned.

4.5 stars! KILLS WELL WITH OTHERS cements my love for this series, and I am so thrilled Raybourn wrote a sequel. These four women are so fun to read about, and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them again! This one is every bit as good as the first book - something that RARELY happens. I hope there will be a third!

Our four female senior assassins are back in Kills Well With Others, a worthy follow up to Killers of a Certain Age, where the four longtime colleagues were introduced. In this edition, the four are called back into action when a mole in their organization has disclosed their names identifying them as the killers of a target years ago, whose offspring now want revenge. The Senior ladies take off around the globe trying to track down their hunter, and the reader is taken along on a wild ride as the woman battle all sorts of obstacles (and, humorously, themselves) in this highly entertaining and engaging story. Some of the plot threads get a little confusing, but it all comes nicely together and doesn’t distract from this fun read. This series is highly addictive as it’s impossible not to love the characters and the writing is spot-on with an intelligent plot. Hopefully we see more in this series! I received an ARC of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The girls are back and this time they need to finish a job before it catches up with them. I love these characters and I totally finished Killers of a Certain Age and was like ... Ok, make this a series!! She listened! Lol. 😍

When a past job comes back to haunt them, the girls get together to take care of it. And they do. Except maybe they didn't get the right person and they are still in danger. Can they figure out who is really after them and why before it's too late?

The whole crew makes an appearance, including the significant others. If you enjoyed the first book, this is equally fun, with a little more of a slow burn.

Read this if you are looking for a mystery that also has great characters!

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for a copy to enjoy.

After a short time apart to try to piece their own lives back together, the four amigos find themselves once more the target of an assassin hit. This time, their case may be off the books for The Museum, but the danger is more official than ever as bullets fly and bodies pile up. Can these four friends, along with a few significant others and a couple of cats, find their way through this new adventure with death?

It was great fun getting back into this world with Billie, Natalie, Mary Alice, and Helen. The characters stayed true to their original motivations, and the sarcasm and personal interactions make this an entertaining read. I can't wait to see how their adventures continue and hope to see if a certain character can find it in herself to finally make a commitment.

Highly recommended for fans of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series and Elle Cosimano's Finlay Donovan series.
