Klappentext

THE BIGGEST CRIME DEBUT OF 2025

Dark humour, dirty deeds, marriages and murder . . . it's the fantastically twisty first novel you won't be able to put down.

Pam and her friends Nancy and Shalisa have had enough. Enough of scraping by and enough of their bothersome husbands. Husbands who lost their life savings to a dodgy investment but also happen to have hefty life insurance policies.

Their new retirement plan? Why murder, of course.

But they don't know that their husbands have a new retirement plan of their own.

And now someone is going to be killed . . . but who?

Three wives wanting a new life, three husbands in their way . . .

Zusammenfassung
The Retirement Plan by Sue Hincenbergs is jaw-droppingly hilarious, but that's just the start. This wild story is meticulously plotted with wonderfully vivid characters and is an absolute scream from first page to last. So slick I can't believe it's a debut - strong contender for my cosy crime book of the year! Janice Hallett, author of THE APPEAL
