It's taken me a long time to get around to another Eric Jerome Dickey simply because When We Were Wicked was so powerful I needed to recover! That book was a hurricane.

This novel moves smartly when two smart characters talk in a coffee shop.

This is read by Zoë Bell and Dominic Hoffman. Zoe Bell's New Zealand accent - heavens! - sounds pretty authentic to me!

I've just looked her up and there's a reason why she sounds so authentic! Zoë E. Bell is a New Zealand stuntwoman and actress. Some of her most notable stunt-work includes doubling for Lucy Lawless in Xena: Warrior Princess and for Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. As an actress, she has appeared on television and in feature-films; she has starred in the web series Angel of Death.

Unfortunately, I haven't found another book that she narrates.

Back to the book. I've given this an extra half star to make 4 stars because no one writes with the intensity of Eric Jerome Dickey - his writing is remarkable. The book loses half a star because it is about an assassin, and I don't understand why this job type is of such interest to so many great writers. On principal, I don't read books about assassins, thieves, gangsters, etc. ( )

I'm very upset I waited so long to read this book. I got reprimanded at work because I wouldn't stop reading!!! ( )

I've been a long time fan of EJD, and couldn't wait to read this book. It was ok, but a bit slow at times, and a bit difficult to understand in a few parts. Overall though, the book was okay, and I'm looking forward to finding out what happens next with Reaper. I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for lots of action, and drama. ( )

A Wanted Woman is a roller-coaster ride of heart-stopping, nerve-shattering non-stop exhilarating action as a female assassin is caught-up between two warring gangs in this deadly cat and mouse tale. As a deadly assassin for the Barbarians, MX-401 knows the rules – the contract must be completed at all costs. Yet a blotched job leaves her employer pissed at her, assigning her more reckless assignments making her more visible to the rival gang who is sparing any cost to find her. All of this chilling action takes place in the laid-back charming Caribbean where once again Dickey shows his amazing talents for detailed scene setting that provokes the imagery that you are right in the middle of things. Also known as a woman of thousand faces, MX-401 takes awhile to begin to reveal the complexities that makes the reader want to know more about her while other characters remain a little too one-dimensional, And yes, the steamy sex scenes are here but I found the brutally horrific scenes of torture and gang raping too detailed and uncomfortable.
