About this listen
Scarlett Parish is a recovery agent, and she and her partner, Walter Hillam, travel all along California’s vast, unpredictable landscape as they search for, capture, and bring to justice wrongdoers.
This story begins with just such an occurrence: Scarlett and Walter, after tracking a thief all the way from Sacramento to San Diego, are eventually able to apprehend the man and bring him to the local sheriff to retrieve their reward. Their next job—discovering the identity of and bringing to justice the man responsible for the theft of several tools from a smithy in the city of Santa Sophia—does not go as smoothly, and what follows is a dangerous undertaking that tests all of Scarlett’s strength and fortitude.
The Wanted is a western adventure romance tale interwoven with factual elements of the time period.
Recommended to fans of westerns, crime stories, or strong female protagonists.

Avoiding prolixity, the unadorned description of the plain western setting could've been given more emphasis so as to portray livelier backgrounds, but the brevity of descriptive prose doesn't lend much to help paint a more "lived-in" mental image of those places. Conversely, succinct glimpses convey realistic characters and often give insights into their motives.
Overall, this is a slow-progressing mature read (few explicit scenes). Early on it's hard to see where the story is heading, but the action gets going in the latter third of the book.
