This was not a bad little book. At about 140 pages, it's the first book that I have read from the "Rapid Raads" series, and the series is a great concept.

As expected, I was able to finish the book within the evening. It had slower parts, and faster-paced parts, but as it moved towards its conclusion, it did hold my interest and keep me reading....when I should have been doing housework!

The book had its humourous moments (intentional, or otherwise), and was fairly well-written. Despite my lack of interest in the hobby of mud-wrestling, it was quite good (the mud-wrestling wasn't a huge part of the story). Lots of local references to places and establishments in Ontario, Canada.

Not sure the suthor was quite consistant regarding Chico - was he an abusive spouse, or not? Overall, worth the time and I would recommend it to someone looking for a quick little entertaining story.

Three and a half stars out of five. ( )

I was sent this book by the publisher in order that I might review it and I have to say that it wasn't a bad story. It is a quick read, and took me less than an hour to get through it. The book is actually quite funny-a female mud wrestler who is a postal worker by day. Actually this little book reminded me of Janet Evanovich's earlier Stephanie Plum novels, (when they were actually funny before they got too ridiculous). Gina is recruited as a reluctant hit woman. She is asked to kill a woman's husband or else the woman will release a video that could bring into question whether Gina's husband's death was an accident or a murder. The video could be interpreted as a deliberate push off the cliff and cause Gina to be arrested. It becomes apparent that Gina is no killer, and after several failed and hilarious attempts, a resolution of sorts to Gina's dilemma is reached. Not a bad comedic effort my Ms. Wan. ( )

This was a very good, quick read. A definite twist on the typical murder mystery. The story moved quickly, and the suspense holds you until the end. ( )

Suspensful. A good read. Recommend for a fast easy read, but still interesting. ( )

Raven Books says good things come in small packages. When I Kill You is one of their Rapid Reads by Michelle Wan. I do not normally seek out “short” stories, preferring instead to read mysteries and thrillers with more complexity. Wan’s book arrived shortly before I had my first of two cataract surgeries. Reading a long complex book was definitely not on my things to do. Wan’s book proved to be the right length and it provided the satisfaction of a complex read ideally suited to my shorter reading times. I have a new appreciation for the value of a “rapid read.” ( )
