The story alternates between the third-person origin story of the four women, and a first person account of the present day mayhem told by Billie, who was recruited and trained with the others. So they have to go on the run and figure out what to do to stay alive and find out who ordered their deaths. But they spot someone on board who they know works for the same organization, and they realize that they have been targeted for elimination. There’s also a lot of on-page murder, but because everyone who is dispatched is quite terrible, it didn’t bother me too much, especially not when they hunt nazis.Īt the beginning of this story, Billie, Helen, Natalie and Mary Alice are on an all-expenses paid cruise to celebrate their retirement from killing lots of terrible people. There’s a lot of chemistry, both literal and interpersonal, murder, plotting, hunting, and scheming. Killers of a Certain Age is a sharp mix of heist, thriller, mystery, and the type of story where, besides all that action, the four main characters are shifting from one phase of their lives to another.
