Kills Well with Others

By: Deanna Raybourn

Narrated by: Jane Oppenheimer, Christina Delaine

“Much like fine wine, battle-hardened assassins grow better with age.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner

Four women assassins, senior in status—and in age—sharpen their knives for another bloody good adventure in this riotous follow-up to the New York Times bestselling sensation Killers of a Certain Age.

After more than a year of laying low, Billie, Helen, Mary Alice, and Natalie are called back into action. They have enjoyed their time off, but the lack of excitement is starting to chafe: a professional killer can only take so many watercolor classes and yoga sessions without itching to strangle someone...literally. When they receive a summons from the head of the elite assassin organization known as the Museum, they are ready tackle the greatest challenge of their careers.

Someone on the inside has compiled a list of important kills committed by Museum agents, connected to a single, shadowy figure, an Eastern European gangster with an iron fist, some serious criminal ambition, and a tendency to kill first and ask questions later. This new nemesis is murdering agents who got in the way of their power hungry plans and the aging quartet of killers is next.

Together the foursome embark on a wild ride across the globe on the double mission of rooting out the Museum’s mole and hunting down the gangster who seems to know their next move before they make it. Their enemy is unlike any they’ve faced before, and it will take all their killer experience to get out of this mission alive.

It was another fun ride.

Killers of a certain age and kills well with others. We're 2 great adventures, a lot like golden girls who were once assassins. i think a show should be in the works for these characters.

Fantastic Fun

Phew! What wild ride with these four fabulous “necessary monsters” ….a phenomenal follow up to book one.

Excellent story with lots of surprises.

I think this is a terrific book #2 in the series, with outstanding performances by the readers. This was total enjoyment!

Satisfying

I could hardly wait to download this sequel by Deanna Raybourn that I preordered after reading KOACA. It was a joy to revisit the characters and see them successfully complete missions and reunite with each other as they struggle with retirement, aging, love, relationships, and just to survive. Billie is my favorite grey heroine, both morally and physically. My question is, will they *really* retire? If you liked the movie "Red" you will enjoy this series about The Sphinxes. Just enough humor and emotion with the action and occasional gore.

Loved it!!

Loved this and the first one! Can't wait for another! Huge thank you to Deanna Raybourn!

Excellent plot well executed.

Interesting plot. Great characters. Complex layers. Another winner in this series. I will continue. Recommend her other books.

As good as the first book!

I love these characters and the storyline of this book is as good, if not better than the first. Highly recommend

LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!

GenX Killers, Nobody does it better. Some people just need killed, and that is when Mary Alice, Natalie, Helen and Billie step in. This adventure is five years post book one, the gals have survived and settled back into their life, with Billie on a Greek Island with Travaner. But, Naomi at the Museum has a problem, and she needs someone to solve it, so she turns to the girls who know how to get things done. These are the FAFO posse, and they are brilliant. Things might not be as high or tight as when they were young assassins, but these woman are like a great wine because they only got better with age. The book gives both current day and 1980’s time lines, that do interconnect.
The narrators Jane Oppenheimer, and Christina Delaney are fabulous and in the split time lines the voices are very similar, but have a nuanced younger tone. Bravo for a great narration.

Buckle up

With some series, it's not the destination, it's the journey. The hero survives because, well, um, it's a series. But the ride is a roller coaster of successes and near misses. That, and the witty banter between our four sexagenarian assassins, make this journey well worth the trip.

Can't love this series more!!

so fun to visit with them and...start lifting canned goods in case I may have to strangle someone! you never know!
