Gina Lopez is 26, a postal worker during the week, a mud wrestler on weekends. She's also a recent widow, though she is not exactly mourning the death of her abusive husband Chico. Instead, she's anxiously awaiting the life-insurance settlement that will pay off his gambling debts. After that she's hoping to take her mud-wrestling skills out of small-town-Ontario bars and down to the more lucrative U.S. circuit. And then Marcia Beekland enters her life. Marcia has video evidence that appears to implicate Gina in Chico's death. Faced with the likelihood of a jail sentence and the certain loss of the insurance settlement, Gina succumbs to Marcia's blackmail demands. And what Marcia wants is that Gina kill her husband Stanley. What follows is a comic mystery caper that will keep readers both laughing and eagerly reading to discover what is really behind Marcia's increasingly crazed demands.

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. (
