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 . . .

Reviews

Janice Hallett
The Retirement Plan by Sue Hincenbergs is jaw-droppingly hilarious, but that's just the start. This wild story is meticulously plotted with wonderfully vivid characters and is an absolute scream from first page to last. So slick I can't believe it's a debut - strong contender for my cosy crime book of the year!
Ian Moore
Sharp, wicked and thoroughly addictive!
Chris Brookmyre
Relentlessly and rambunctiously entertaining. A feel-good crime caper that could put a smile on the face of any hitman
Amy McCulloch
Deliciously dark, twisty and packed full of humour and charm, The Retirement Plan had me racing through the pages to witness the hijinks unfold. A hugely impressive debut from a real star in the making
Jessica Bull
Absolutely hilarious is the only way to describe Sue Hincenberg's debut, The Retirement Plan, with a cast of charming but deeply flawed characters I couldn't help rooting for!
Jennie Godfrey
The Retirement Plan is a razor sharp, clever, funny novel which is also surprisingly tender. I gulped it down over a couple of days and found myself both laughing, and gasping out loud at the twists and turns the story took. I defy you not to be rooting for these characters. It's a triumph
Sarah Pearse
This funny, twisty read about three girlfriends who turn to murder (husbands watch out!) had me turning the pages late into the night. Razor-sharp and deviously dark!
