Four women‒Billie, Helen, Natalie, and Mary Alice‒were recruited to become a team of elite assassins forty years ago by an organization called "the Museum." The Museum has a Board that determines which bad actors need to be taken out. Their original mission was to kill Nazis, but over time they have included dictators and others who have escaped justice.
But now the women are sixty and being treated to a Caribbean cruise in honor of their retirement. All goes well until they make the stunning discovery that one of their former colleagues is undercover on board their ship, and they realize they may have been targeted for extermination themselves. All their instincts kick into gear as they try to protect themselves using only their own resources; they can't ask for the usual logistical help from the Museum, because it might be that their own bosses are the culprits.
Hands down, this page-turner is the most exciting book that I've read in a while. [Thanks for the recommendation, Kara!]
