Deanna Raybourn's witty sequel features elderly hitwomen
Deanna Raybourn has released a new comic thriller called "Kills Well With Others." This book is a sequel to her previous work, "Killers of a Certain Age." It features four older hitwomen who encounter new dangers and challenges. The story follows Billie, Helen, Mary Alice, and Natalie as they deal with the murder of a colleague from their secretive organization, known as the Museum. The women realize they might be targeted next. Each character brings her own unique personality to the story, adding humor and depth. Raybourn creates a lively backdrop as the characters travel across beautiful locations, including a luxurious cruise ship, an opera house in Venice, the Swiss Alps, and a quaint English village. The novel combines action, comedy, and adventure. However, some parts of the book flash back to the 1980s and 1990s, when the women were starting their careers as hitwomen. While these flashbacks are entertaining, they disrupt the present-day storyline. Readers may find it tricky to keep track of the many characters introduced. Overall, "Kills Well With Others" is an engaging read that brings humor and excitement, especially for those who enjoy stories about strong heroines. The mix of past and present adds an interesting layer, even if it can be confusing at times.
