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 . . .
The Retirement Plan Review
The Retirement Plan is an entertaining tale packed with dark humour, surprising twists, and a generous dose of ridiculous fun.
The story follows three middle-aged women, all disillusioned with their husbands, who decide it’s time to cash in on their spouses’ life insurance policies. But they’re not the only ones scheming—turns out, their husbands have a few secrets of their own.
I enjoyed the dynamic between the characters and found myself laughing at some of the over-the-top antics. It’s light-hearted yet deliciously twisted in places. That said, I think this might be a marmite book—you’ll either be completely on board with the humour or it won’t be your cup of tea.
For me, it was a pleasant read with just the right amount of silliness to keep me turning the pages.
