I've been
a fan of Eric Jerome Dickey for many, many years and I can't get enough of his
writing. I recently finished reading A Wanted Woman, EJD's 21st
novel and here's my review:
In “A Wanted Woman” no detail was left
unturned by Eric Jerome Dickey, the master of thrillers. His in-depth
descriptions of the story’s locations (Trinidad, Barbados, etc.), its complex
characters, the dialect of the regions, the music, the food, etc. were spot on.
I felt like I was there with Reaper when she was wrecking havoc against all her
enemies…and they were aplently. Also, there were so many great lines in this
novel.
Here’s one of my favorites from a conversation between Black Jack and
Reaper (a woman of many faces who switches accents at a drop of a dime and who
is deadly as hell): “Keep a woman broke, keep her under control. Give her
enough to get by. She won’t starve to death, but she’ll never be able to afford
to leave. That’s from the handbook on how to be a pimp.”
The action was
definitely a thrill ride! A must read!
