Happy #thrillerthursday! In The Retirement Plan, Pam dreams of the perfect retirement with her bffs and their husbands. A bad investment derailed that dream. What the ladies didn’t know is that their husbands had their own secret plan- steal millions from the local casino and retire in style. But girls hatch a plan of their own- hire a hitman to kill their husbands and collect the insurance money. How far will the wives and husbands go to fund a comfortable retirement? Here’s the full summary from the publisher:
“Three best friends turn to murder to collect on their husbands’ life insurance policies… But the husbands have a plan of their own in this darkly funny debut that will delight readers from the first laugh to the final twist.
After thirty years of friendship, Pam dreams of her perfect retirement with Nancy, Shalisa, Marlene, and their husbands—until their husbands pool their funds for an investment that goes terribly wrong. Suddenly, their golden years are looking as dreary as their marriages.
But when the women discover their husbands have seven-figure life insurance policies, a new dream forms. And this time, they need a hitman.
Meanwhile, their husbands are working on their own secret retirement scheme and when things begin to go sideways, they fear it’s backfired. The husbands scramble to stay alive…but soon realize they may not be quick enough to outmaneuver their wives.”
This is a fun and darkly funny story of friendship, marriage, money, and love. It’s over the top with harebrained schemes and miscommunication, but it’s very entertaining and sweet at times. This a bubblegum book- a fast and amusing book to just enjoy without thinking too much. It’s ridiculous fun and I enjoyed it very much.
What does your dream retirement look like?
