Carregando... Killers of a Certain Agede Deanna Raybourn
![]() Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Fun book ( ![]() Reason read: favorable reviews, fit TIOLI challenge August I decided to read this and while it may not be great literature. I liked it. I found it entertaining. 4 women assassins decide to retire only to find they're the target. Yes there are killings in this book. I would rate this 0 stars if I could. Absolutely god-awful writing, characters, pacing and plot. By far the worst book of this year and it's not even a contest. And that's not even bringing up the fact that this book is extremely sexist towards men, portraying them as cartoonish villains and having the main cast of characters slowly and brutally murder literally every single male character in the book. A team of senior female assassins becomes the target as they start retirement. They demonstrate quickly and appropriately why that is not a good idea. This was a surprisingly good thriller/mystery! I love the characters, the back story, and the dynamics of friendships with history. Plus their methods are so creative. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

"Older women often feel invisible, but sometimes that's their secret weapon. They've spent their lives as the deadliest assassins in a clandestine international organization, but now that they're sixty years old, four women friends can't just retire - it's kill or be killed in this action-packed thriller by New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-nominated author Deanna Raybourn. Billie, Mary Alice, Helen, and Natalie have worked for the Museum, an elite network of assassins, for forty years. Now their talents are considered old-school and no one appreciates what they have to offer in an age that relies more on technology than people skills. When the foursome is sent on an all-expenses paid vacation to mark their retirement, they are targeted by one of their own. Only the Board, the top-level members of the Museum, can order the termination of field agents, and the women realize they've been marked for death. Now to get out alive they have to turn against their own organization, relying on experience and each other to get the job done, knowing that working together is the secret to their survival. They're about to teach the Board what it really means to be a woman-and a killer-of a certain age"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
