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

A Wanted Woman wasn't bad. It was even a little edgy, especially the language. A couple of things about the book (well, the audiobook) that stuck with me were the repeated references to "the Kiwi" -- the main character -- and the narration. Zoë Bell performed some of the best voice-over work I ever heard in fiction, and Eric Jerome Dickey authored its script.
My mother had one of Dickey's books -- one of the ones with the animated covers -- and that's how I knew about him. I didn't follow his work much, but I read A Wanted Woman on audiobook at the time it came out. That was about six years ago.
Dickey died three days before my original post in Jan. 2021; I found out the night before.
He was 59.

Very good book, I would not want to cross the Reaper family cause they are no joke. Goldie Reaper whooped behinds and asked questions later. Once again Eric did not disappoint.

I have to agree on what several of the negative reviewers have said about this book, but the real dealbreaker was the audio. This has the flattest narration I had ever heard, which defeats the whole purpose of a thriller.
Not for me.

This would make one heck of a kick ass action move. There was a plethora of suspense, violence, gore, and the blood flowed freely. I'm a bit shocked by the lack of romance. It would appear that my favorite romance author has turned thriller action suspense. The lead character was definitely not someone I would like to meet in real life. Goldie Locks Reaper was downright scary. She was unexpected and surprising. Her execution of violence was thorough to the point of excessive. I'm not sure where the next novel will take us, but I don't wish to cross her path again.
