Reviews

""The Retirement Plan 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 cozy crime book of the year!"" -- Janice Hallett, bestselling author of The Appeal ""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."" -- Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things ""Relentlessly and rambunctiously entertaining. A feel-good crime caper that could put a smile on the face of any hitman."" -- Chris Brookmyre, author of The Cracked Mirror ""Sharp, wicked and thoroughly addictive!"" -- Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants ""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."" -- Amy McCulloch, author of Breathless
