Older women often feel invisible, but sometimes that’s their secret weapon.

They’ve spent their lives as the deadliest assassins in a clandestine international organization, but now that they’re sixty years old, four women friends can’t just retire – it’s kill or be killed in this action-packed thriller

Billie, Mary Alice, Helen, and Natalie have worked for the Museum, an elite network of assassins, for forty years. Now their talents are considered old school and no one appreciates what they have to offer in an age that relies more on technology than people skills.

When the foursome is sent on all-expenses paid vacation to mark their retirement, they are targeted by one of their own. Now to get out alive they have to turn against their own organization, relying on experience and each other to get the job done, knowing that working together is the secret to their survival. They’re about to teach the Board what it really means to be a woman—and a killer—of a certain age.

“Completely enjoyable performances by Jane Oppenheimer and Christina Delaine add sparkle to this delightful audiobook. For 40 years, Billie, Mary Alice, Helen, and Natalie have worked as assassins for an ultra-secret organization called The Museum. The women, now in their 60s, are enjoying a free luxury retirement cruise, courtesy of their former employer, when they become entangled in an assassination attempt–on them. Oppenheimer is tough yet soft as Billie shares her personal observations, while Delaine’s third-person chapters add gravitas, thanks to her sensual husky voice. Oppenheimer and Delaine skillfully develop the story’s two timelines, recounting exploits throughout the women’s careers and capturing the nonstop roller-coaster ride as they try to identify who’s out to kill them. So much fun.”— Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award
