The Retirement Plan

Dark humor, cunning plots, nuptials, and homicide intertwine in the ultimate read for enthusiasts of *The Thursday Murder Club*, *How to Kill Your Family*, and *White Lotus*. Janice Hallett, known for *The Appeal*, describes it as "an absolute scream from the first page to the last." *Stylist* highlights how it is "incredibly funny with plot twists you won't see coming." As Pam, Nancy, and Shalisa approach retirement, they envision a time of relaxation with margaritas and hot tubs, until their husbands squander their savings with a risky gamble. Suddenly, the notion of cashing in on their spouses' life insurance seems more enticing than ever. They decide to involve a local barber who doubles as a hitman. However, the friends are unaware that their husbands have their own counter-schemes, leading to a series of unexpected events. In *The Retirement Plan*, readers are introduced to an unforgettable cast of characters that blend wit and crime. Jennie Godfrey, author of *The List of Suspicious Things*, calls it "clever, funny, tender. A triumph." With a mix of *Desperate Housewives* and *White Lotus* vibes, this darkly humorous novel is praised by *My Weekly* as "funny, twisty, deviously dark!" According to Clare Pooley, author of *The Authenticity Project*, it's "a total riot," while Ian Moore describes it as "thoroughly addictive." With commendations from Chris Brookmyre and Amy McCulloch for its relentless entertainment and charm, it promises a delightful and unpredictable ride, as noted by Keith Stuart.
