Certainly a match for Richard Osman' Daily Mail'Incredibly funny with plot twists you won't see coming' StylistTheir husbands are driving them mad, and murder is on their minds . . . but the men have a plan of their own. Pam, Nancy and Shalisa once imagined retirement would mean setting aside their worries, picking up their margaritas, and lying back in a hot tub. Right up until their husbands lost all their savings in a reckless investment.
Now, collecting their husbands' life insurance is starting to sound more appealing than growing old with them. But enlisting the help of the local barber/hitman isn't merely the most daring thing the friends have ever done - it's also where the trouble really begins.
Because they don't realise their husbands have some tricks up their sleeves. And there's no turning back now . . .
From the first laugh to the final twist, The Retirement Plan is full of characters who will steal your heart while plotting their dark deeds.

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
The Retirment Plan is
a razor sharp, clever, funny novel which is also surprisingly tender. I gulped it down over a couple of days and found myself both laughing, and gasping out loud at the twists and turns the story took. I defy you not to be rooting for these characters. It's a triumph. - Jennie Godfrey
Relentlessly and rambunctiously entertaining. A feel-good crime caper that could put a smile on the face of any hitman - Chris Brookmyre
