Not the Trip We Planned
Chickie and Maddy are aging in their typical yin and yang styles when old friend Lena’s husband, Edward, suddenly dies. Maddy, a retired social worker, is eager to offer support; Chickie, a chronically underemployed journalist, is peeved at the inconvenience. Friendship prevails and the two reluctantly return to Chicago, where they’d all met decades earlier.
They soon learn that Lena requires more than comfort or casseroles-she is certain Edward was murdered and demands answers. Chickie and Maddy dismiss her suspicions as grief but agree to help. They’re soon astonished to discover they have a penchant for unraveling secrets, learning more about Edward than they ever wanted to know. As the tensions increase, the women must choose to remain silent or pursue justice . . . or is it revenge?
