About the book
THE BIGGEST CRIME DEBUT OF 2025 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 . . .
