highly recommended

In Lee Child?s astonishing new thriller, ex?military cop Reacher sees more than most people would...and because of that, he?s thrust into an explosive situation that?s about to blow up in his face. For the only way to find the truth?and save two innocent lives?is to do it the way Jack Reacher does it best: the hard way?.

Jack Reacher was alone, the way he liked it, soaking up the hot, electric New York City night, watching a man cross the street to a parked Mercedes and drive it away. The car contained one million dollars in ransom money. And Edward Lane, the man who paid it, will pay even more to get his family back. Lane runs a highly illegal soldiers-for-hire operation. He will use any amount of money and any tool to find his beautiful wife and child. And then he?ll turn Jack Reacher loose with a vengeance?because Reacher is the best man hunter in the world.

On the trail of a vicious kidnapper, Reacher is learning the chilling secrets of his employer?s past?and of a horrific drama in the heart of a nasty little war. He?s beginning to realize that Edward Lane is hiding something. Something dirty. Something big. But Reacher also knows this: he?s already in way too deep to stop now.

BACK TO THE BEST REACHER!

As a big Reacher fan I struggle to find good books of a similar genre, but if you are the same try the `Soft Target novels by Conrad Jones. They are as good if not better than most. As far as thrillers go this is one of the best Reacher books. The latest Harry Bosch novel Overlook is excellent but too short. Oh well back to looking for a good read again !!

Once Again, Reacher At His Best!

I love it when I get the chance to sit back and read the next installment regarding Jack Reacher. I was thoroughly entertained. On to the next.

Another Great Jack Reacher Story

If you are familiar with Lee Child, then I'm sure you will enjoy The Hard Way, which is his tenth thriller that deals with Jack Reacher. He is a favorite character of mine. In this book (just like in all the previous novels) Reacher finds himself overcoming evil in the most interesting situations. He is always is successful in overcoming his battles and challenges but Child's great craft is how he has Reacher achieve his goals in solving the mysteries.

So with this one we have Reacher just enjoying a cup of coffee in Manhattan then he is questioned the next day on what he witnessed. Supposedly a car that had driven away from where he was is tied in with a kidnapping of Edward Lane's wife Kate and step-daughter Jade and it had money for the ransom. What also was strange is that his first wife had also been kidnapped in the past so was Lane involved? The previous wife ended up being murdered. But Lane turns to Reacher this time to hopefully get this wife and step-daughter back alive. Reacher is left questioning the truth of it all and wants to get down to the bottom of it all.

This is a book you don't want to miss. Like I said in the opening paragraph, Jack Reacher is a great character. He owns nothing and in having nothing, he seems to be a man who has everything.

Good Thriller

In this novel, Jack Reacher is on the case of a kidnapped mother and daughter. The action swings from New York to rural England. The first time, to the best of my knowledge, that a Jack reacher novel has not been set entirely in the USA.

I felt the storyline was good, throughout, and I was hooked from the start. There was always something at the end of each chapter, that would make me want to keep on reading. The characters in it were interesting, too. Having said that, there are better Jack reacher novels out there, but, this one is still very good and certainly worth a read.

I have read FOUR Jack Reacher novels . . . .

. . . and if you knew me, you might be surprised. I write novels about California, where people swim naked, have sex, and smoke a lot of pot. Nothing like that happens in Lee Child's novels! But these books are thrilling, fast-paced, intriguing. And I must admit, I find them sort of sexy. Yes, sexy. The whole man without a country/family/homebase thing is the perfect escape from a life that's often made up of carpool lines, dishes and laundry.
