Holy shit, I need more Jack Reacher in my life.
It’s been four years since I read my first Lee Child book. I’d heard about Jack Reacher before, seen that Tom Cruise movie from a while back, and I remember loving the book.
But for some reason I never picked up another one.
Then late last year my wife and I were looking for a new show to watch. I’d seen trailers for the latest season of Jack Reacher, heard it recommended by a couple of colleagues, and I remembered loving that book I’d read a while back. My wife didn’t need much convincing and after two episodes we were hooked. We binged the whole series in record time.
So when I found a couple of Lee Child books in the grab-a-used-book-for-free shelf near our local shop, I got one for myself and one for my wife. And it was just as good as the first one!
No Plan B follows Reacher as he gets caught up in a murder that’s made to look like a suicide, in broad daylight. Being the curious, selfless ex-military drifter he is, he can’t help wanting to figure out what’s what—and he doesn’t mind bringing a handful of low-life criminals to justice and getting his hands dirty in the process. Soon enough he’s caught up in a crazy web of lies, deceit, cover ups and conspiracy… and what a wild ride it is!
I finished this book in about 24 hours, in two sittings. That’s the thing with Reacher novels—they’re the ultimate page turners. For me it’s Reacher’s no bullshit attitude, combined with Lee’s no nonsense, fast-paced action writing style that does it. Even if I wanted to look away, I can’t! And it doesn’t hurt that the plot is actually good as well, the mystery is enthralling and the twist are absolutely excellent.
The only problem I have now is that my wife hasn’t finished her Reacher book, so we can’t swap yet.
