The Retirement Plan is a darkly funny, twist-filled debut that blends murder, friendship, and midlife reinvention. Pam and her three lifelong friends—Nancy, Shalisa, and Marlene—have spent thirty years dreaming of their golden years together. But when their husbands pool their money into a disastrous investment, retirement suddenly looks bleak, and their marriages even bleaker.
Then comes a shocking discovery: each husband carries a seven-figure life insurance policy. What begins as frustration quickly turns into a deadly scheme, as the women hatch a plan to hire a hitman and secure the futures they believe they deserve. But the husbands aren’t as clueless as they seem, and they have a plan of their own.
With razor-sharp humor and deliciously dark plotting, Sue Hincenbergs delivers a thriller that keeps readers laughing and gasping from the first page to the final twist. The Retirement Plan is both a satire of suburban dreams gone wrong and a gripping tale of betrayal, survival, and unexpected justice.
