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 . . .

I really enjoyed this madcap tale of four couples who, thanks to a bad investment, find their retirement plans up in smoke and their marriages all but over. Now, they have plans of a different kind, the wives independently of their husbands. Crossed wires and miscommunication follow.🍸
The story is told from several POV's; the men, the women, the casino boss and the barber. All but one of the characters are likeable, but as always, the dog (Elmer) was my favourite. 🐶
Fast paced, funny, and at times ridiculous, The Retirement Plan is a book you will either love or hate. I loved it because it made me laugh out loud, but don't take my word for it. Read it for yourself. Go on, you know you want to. 🍸

Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Audio for this ALC.
This book is the perfect summer read. It is so much fun. It has more twists and turns throughout the story then a hula-hoop contest. A comedy of errors and miscommunication and very fast paced. The narrators, Kiiri Sandy; John Pirhalla, did an amazing job with this production.
