"A smart, smirky, and highly entertaining crime caper that twists and turns its way through to an extremely satisfying conclusion."
Gosh this was a lot of fun, even as I met hit men and witnessed dodgy deals and murderous plans I enjoyed myself immensely. The Retirement Plan sits as both a LoveReading Star Book and Liz Pick of the Month. Three men who lost their money along with their plans for retirement have a scheme to get it back, in the meantime, their wives decide their only option is to collect their husband’s life insurance.
Author Sue Hincenberg has devised a deviously twisted plot and I loved it! The characters are vividly colourful, and form themselves into a number of different strands that bump into each other causing chaos along the way. The humour is smirky and wonderful, at no point does it take itself too seriously, but at the same time I could easily imagine this actually taking place.
While the murderous wit is there, so is compassion and friendship and love. The chapters are short and pithy, throwing you one way and then the other, encouraging thoughts to spiral before spinning you onto the next scene. This is so vibrant and dramatic I could easily see it being made into a series.
Addictive, amusing, and wonderfully capricious, The Retirement Plan is one heck of an entertaining read. Highly recommended.
