Murder is the name of the game in Sue Hincenbergs' debut novel "The Retirement Plan." When the only thing standing between three best friends and a sunny beachfront retirement condo is their husbands, what ensues is a diabolical plan to collect on their spouses’ life insurance policies. 

After 30 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, and their dreams of beachfront condos and a sunny, carefree retirement vanish. The golden years are looking as dreary as their marriages. But when one husband dies in a freak accident, the other three women are shocked to see his widow rebound with a huge life insurance payout and a new life in Florida. In the aftermath, the women discover that their husbands have identical, seven-figure life insurance policies. A new dream forms, and this time, it involves a hit man. Meanwhile, their husbands have a secret retirement plan of their own.

This darkly humorous debut by Sue Hincenbergs offers both laugh-out-loud and genuinely tense moments as our headstrong wives pursue their dream retirement at all costs. Register today to take part in the fun!
