Many thanks to Goodreads for this kindle copy of Rapier Wit received via giveaway. I am working through quite the backlog of books right now as I took a small hiatus to study (still am just less intense right now). This cute thriller is a quick read as it comes in under 200 pages, but it’s a fun ride.

The story is told through Regina’s view. Regina is a theater and English teach in the small town of Quanah. As she is preparing for the annual play, Romeo and Juliet, a fellow teacher turns up dead backstage. The deceased is militant and not well liked, but the shockwave of his death affects many of the students.

Shortly after, the well liked, yet gossipy secretary also winds up dead. Who could be committing these murders? Surely not a student, or could it be another teacher?

I enjoyed the book and was quite surprised to see a hint of romance built in. I am a sucker for a romance story line mixed in with a thriller.

I recommend picking up this book for a nice break from other more serious books, or for a quick read. I give this book 4/5 stars. Check it out!
