Assassin
ByPublisher Description
In this “fantastic end to a truly thrilling series,” a female PI with a price on her head turns vigilante in the name of taking down a crime family (Woman’s Day).
When Makedde Vanderwall disappeared in Paris, everyone, including her federal agent ex-lover and her former cop father, presumes she’s dead. Everyone, except the Cavanaugh clan, one of the richest and most ruthless families in Australia. With a price on her head and a perilous need for revenge, Mak wants to put an end to the family’s senseless violence against the innocent. With her body honed and her mind as sharp as a knife, Mak emerges from her isolation a woman transformed, an assassin ready, willing, and able to find justice once and for all.
At first, Mak doesn’t plan on seeing Andy again. But turns out he’s the only man she can trust. He’s also the man she still loves. But Mak’s survival means putting all feelings aside. If she can. . . .
“Makedde Vanderwall ranks up there as [a] contemporary Aussie literary icon.” —The Daily Telegraph
“Mak is the female equivalent of Jack Reacher.” —Joanne Harris, New York Times–bestselling author of Chocolat

“I read this mainly because it’s the last book in the series and I’d already pushed through the other 5.
This book was much better than the previous offering. Book 5 annoyed the crap out of me, but it’s still average written, far fetched nonsense.
The book is set in Australia and it’s obvious that the author has never actually lived here. Or maybe she did and just didn’t pay attention. She gets a lot of things wrong.
Australia’s police isn’t set up the same way as the US, so the idea of “the feds” coming in to assist on a homicide case is pretty silly. Why she didn’t just set the whole book in the US is a bit of a mystery. Likewise a whole bunch of people running around with Smith and Wesson’s doesn’t ring true either.
I don’t really understand the motives of the characters in this book. Why would Jack put out a hit on Makedde if 1. He was out of money and 2. The police and media had dropped the story? Why didn’t Makedde go after Damian since he was the one who actually committed the crime. How did she get on to the guy to make the fake passport, it’s not like they’re advertising in the yellow pages?
Stop, you’re overthinking it.
I liked that Makedde was a bit tougher and a bit more gritty this time around. I liked that there was less of her seeking trouble for the sake of it, and that most of what she does was born out of necessity. That said, it’s was all just a bit to easy. This woman just is inherently good at everything which is a shame because real character development comes from them having flaws and making mistakes.
And they all lived happily ever after and never mentioned that Makedde is basically a spree killer living off the proceeds of crime with not one, but two cops.”
