KILLS WELL WITH OTHERS

Jane Oppenheimer and Christina Delaine offer outstanding performances as four 50-something retired assassins find themselves back in the game, sponsored by a mysterious entity called "The Museum." After the death of one of their own, The Museum believes there's a security leak. Bored with their retirement lives, Billie, Helen, Mary Alice, and Natalie relish the opportunity to get back to the work they love: killing bad people. Oppenheimer, as Billie, handles the first-person action with exasperated humor. Her range is fluid, allowing each woman her own quirky personality. Delaine's lush, rich tones bring the objective third-person descriptions a necessary gravitas while maintaining the story's underlying humor. Terrific narrations, twisty plotting, and laugh-out-loud moments make this second book in Raybourn's delightful series a must-listen. S.J.H.
