Summary
Zibby speaks to New York Times and USA Today bestselling novelist Deanna Raybourn about Killers of a Certain Age, an unpredictable and witty new thriller about four 60-year-old female assassins who, after forty years of service, just want to retire! Deanna talks about her quartet of badass protagonists, the risk she took writing a contemporary story after years of publishing historical fiction, and the idea of retirement as something that can change a person's identity. She also reveals the phenomenal thrillers that changed her opinion of the genre, and shares her best advice for aspiring authors.
