3.5 / 5 I picked up Killers of a certain Age as a short time read, easy entertainment and a break in between other books after seeing how many of my fellow readers (whose judgement I trust) enjoyed this heaps. It ended up being all that while just taking me a little longer to finish it, but it was an easy read and I was entertained. Why am I still somehow disappointed? Maybe I read too many of the quotes and jumped on the bandwagon too quickly to have forgotten at least some of them again. Maybe I just hoped to form a bit more of a connection with the characters, but the truth is: I just didn’t. This read a bit like the feminist counter-draft to those 2010 RED movies, which I found hilariously entertaining, but are as forgettable as they come. I was not really surprised by any of the plot twists, neither did I particularly care? I just lacked a connection to the characters to be anything other than mildly entertained while having the odd chuckle about the quick witted responses sometimes or a fit of rage due to the acutely accurate descriptions of women’s lives, struggles and fights in a world designed and still ruled by men. Don’t get me wrong, this is a good read. It did not keep me on the edge of my seat, but maybe it would have been a better choice for a cozy, rainy afternoon to relax.
