09/13/22: Houston Chronicle – Washington Post review, syndicated
09/13/22: The Washington Post – Review “Let’s get all the patronizing comparisons out of the way because KILLERS OF A CERTAIN AGE, by Deanna Raybourn — about four women who’ve reached the mandatory retirement age for professional assassins — is so inventive, the only ageist wisecracks it deserves are the ones its characters make about themselves….It’s impossible not to root for these dangerous dames and their refusal to let themselves be put on the ash heap — a phrase that, in this thriller, should be taken literally.”
