The Retirement Plan

Dark humour, dirty deeds, marriages and murder . . . The perfect new read for fans of The Thursday Murder Club and How to Kill Your Family 'An absolute scream from the first page to the last' Janice Hallett, author of The Appeal 'Certainly a match for Richard Osman' Daily Mail 'Incredibly funny with plot twists you won't see coming' Stylist Their 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. 'Clever, funny, tender.
