No Plan B: The unputdownable new 2022 Jack Reacher thriller from the No.1 bestselling authors (Jack Reacher, 27)

Product Information

Every loyal reader of this series knows nobody messes with Jack Reacher - he can take down half a dozen very big, very angry men in the blink of an eye. The authors keep the action high and dry humour flowing in this novel, which has much more zip than some of their past collaborative efforts. There were six men in the room, and this was the third covert meeting they’d held there in the last week.

to see how the Child (Grant) brothers will handle Reacher in the future, as well as whether they foresee an end of his nomadic ways. A lot of cardboard bad guys (two separate groups) that were all bland, uninteresting, and sounded the same.It consisted of a bunch of disconnected plots which all come together in an ending which was obvious, unsatisfying and totally ridiculous. From the start we are presented with three separate narrative threads: a group of bigwigs at a Correctional Facility (euphemism for “prison”) in Mississippi planning for a major event the following Friday; in Colorado, Jack Reacher is the sole witness to the murder of a woman as she is pushed under a bus; teenager Jed Starmer prepares to leave his unhappy foster home in Los Angeles and make the perilous journey across the country to, hopefully, meet his biological father. Much like its protagonist, the narrative style of this series has meandered all over the place, but captivates the reader on a repeated basis.

In some ways, it’s lacking in the nuance of the telling that the straight Lee Child authored books has, but it managed to keep me entertained and curious about what would happen next. In addition to the sameness of these books, I have come to find Reacher’s lack of any personality or charisma tiresome. While others think they saw the woman leap, Reacher is sure about what he saw and tells the authorities as much. Flying by the seat of his pants like usual, Reacher is about to show the evildoers they should have had a plan B. Lee spends his spare time reading, listening to music, and watching the Yankees, Aston Villa, or Marseilles soccer.But the official ruling is suicide so Reacher feels compelled to figure out what's really going on and who would want her dead.
