The crime-fighters-but-make-them-older trend continues with Deanna Raybourn’s “Kills Well With Others.”The sequel to “Killers of a Certain Age” could repurpose that title because the quartet of sixtyish hitwomen from “Certain” is back in “Kills Well With Others.” And, as they say in movie trailers, this time it’s personal. A colleague of theirs at their shadowy, quasi-governmental organization, the Museum — which doles out violent justice around the world — has been killed.

Kills Well with Others by Deanna Raybourn The lone-wolf hero is a familiar figure in crime fiction, but two new books by Deanna Raybourn and Juan Gómez-Jurado attest to the advantages of collaboration. That the female assassins in Kills Well with Others collaborate on murder flips the script somewhat—shouldn’t they be solving crimes together?—but, as they like to say, the world would be a better place without their targets.

Deanna Raybourn’s ninth book in the Veronica Speedwell Mysteries proved quite the clever case, when Lord Rosemorran purchases a wax doll and his daughter asked Stoker to animate it. What Veronica and Stoker discover is a carefully preserved human encased in wax like the Sleeping Beauty in the style of Madame Tussaud’s. I don’t think I’ll ever grow bored with this series and quickly was swept up into the mystery and these characters.

Forget about solving all these crimes; the signal triumph here is (spoiler) the heroine’s survival. Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. A week after the night she chases but fails to catch a mysterious trespasser outside her town house, some unknown party texts Tempe four images of a corpse that looks as if it’s been chewed by wild hogs, because it has been.
