Why It's Your Next Read

  • Razor-sharp banter between lifelong badass friends
  • Adrenaline-spiked action meets emotional wisdom
  • Revenge plot with laugh-out-loud dark humor
  • Empowering older women who refuse invisibility

If the Thursday Murder Club's gentle subversion of the retirement-home stereotype left you hungry for more silver-haired troublemakers, Deanna Raybourn serves up four women in their sixties who traded book clubs for body counts—and now someone's hunting them. The same wry intelligence and refusal to let age define capability pulses through every page, swapping Osman's cozy English villages for globe-trotting espionage, but keeping that intoxicating blend of humor, heart, and homicide intact.

Meet the retirement you didn't know you needed—equal parts vengeance and vacation.

Raybourn honors her assassins with the same dignity Osman grants his sleuths: no patronizing, no sentimentality, just razor-sharp women solving problems with decades of hard-won expertise and the kind of banter that comes from friendships forged in fire.

Meet the retirement you didn't know you needed—equal parts vengeance and vacation.

What Readers Are Saying

"KILLERS OF A CERTAIN AGE is the Golden Girls with garrotes...an absolute joyride of a journey. If this isn't made into a movie stat--starring four fabulous 60+ A-list actresses who know how to drop acerbic one-liners--it will be a crime..." Kate Quinn, Goodreads
"It's terrific fun... with globetrotting and sneakery and some proper graphic on page violence. Our heroines are fed up of being old, of being underestimated... Excellent title, terrific amoral fun, great female friendships, and here's to post menopausal heroines." K.J. Charles, Goodreads
"this one was a real pip! ... Mad props for a new take on a familiar plotline, introducing me to these enjoyable ladies, for the humor and for keeping me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. This was pure fun." Kelly (and the Book Boar), Goodreads
