Product Information

x-Major Reacher of the 110th CO of MP (Commanding Officer/Military Police), wants to meet his replacement Major Susan Turner CO/MP. When arriving Why is he accused of a soldier murder & a paternity suit that he is a father of a daughter, Samantha Dayton(15)? Brilliant . . . Child never, ever slips. He keeps the action cranking better than anyone, but, best of all, he keeps us guessing about Reacher.” — Booklist (starred review) Principal photography on the film began on October 20, 2015, in New Orleans, Louisiana. [19] On November 23, 2015, filming took place in Baton Rouge, [20] and in January 2016, filming also took place in St. Francisville. [21] Filming wrapped on January 30, 2016. Having read all of the Reacher books, I was one of those who cried "What??!!" when Cruise was cast as Reacher, but I changed my tune when I saw the first Reacher movie. I thought Cruise carried it off well.

Detective Podolski of the Metro PD is investigating the beating. Crew Scully is Deputy Chief of Staff with the Department of Defense. His best friend is the army’s Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Gabriel Montague. The car parallel-parked neatly and its headlights shut off, and two guys got out, far off and indistinct, just moving shadows really, one maybe larger than the other. The lizard brain stirred, and a billion years later Reacher leaned forward an inch. Lord, I do love the analyses we get when Reacher is planning his moves. Do all fighters think this way? I’m curious. This reader was expecting shades of And Then There Were None but surprisingly two people, Chipchase and Askew, are missing before the rest even reach the castle.

They were 3 setups & their names cleared. But does it effect the “love” Reacher & Turner experienced? If you saw the movie first, don't worry. It's a good movie that diverges completely from this great book, pretty early on.

waves hand* No need to dwell on the fact it’s my first JK read. I will fix that egregious error as soon as I can finagle my TBR as I need more of this world. I do love it. Reacher follows the letter of the law, in his own way, and until he decides to “re-write” that law. Brilliant . . . Child never, ever slips. He keeps the action cranking better than anyone, but, best of all, he keeps us guessing about Reacher." -- Booklist (starred review)Cards on the table. I like Reacher, always have, but I might be getting a bit tired of reading the same story. We then skip forward in time, Max and Annie have married…and divorced, separated from each other for more than a year they are still drawn to each other like moths to a flame. Old enmities persist, the Delaneys want Max to pay for times past. Smashed nightclubs, old mates dead, witnesses drowned. Who is on whose side? The trio goes to New Orleans in search of Daniel Prudhomme, the only eyewitness to the murders for which Turner has been framed. En route, Sam reveals that it was she who filed the paternity suit, to gain financial support from Reacher for her mother. What is with those lawyers?? Aren’t they supposed to at least pretend to believe their clients? If this is how the military “helps” their own, god help ‘em. No due process. No investigations. Makes ya wonder how closely or fantastical this is to real life...scary…

There were a few times when I seriously considered not finishing the book, but this is Lee Child and Reacher, surely it can only get better? No, the writing was consistent throughout, it was boring and repetitive. The plot was weak, and every solution to every problem on both sides was just too convenient, unbelievably so on many occasions. On top of that, there's a hell of a lot of running throughout the movie - I'm surprised they didn't run to the toilet. This, with the camera work and editing had a way of making the movie feel rushed. It's a bit like the author has taken the cliched framework of a thriller, disassembled it, added in some different names but taken out a couple of key ingredients viz. the crime and the motivation. The cover is pretty with its turquoise waters and yellow highlights as a drop of water disturbs the reflection of the Senate building in the waters of the Potomac. Reacher is there to meet—in person—the new commanding officer, Major Susan Turner, so far just a warm, intriguing voice on the phone.

Lieutenant Colonel Morgan is temporarily in command at the 110th. He’s a troubleshooter sent in to clear up messes. Uh-huh… Captain Weiss is on duty at Fort Dyer. Warrant Officer Pete Espin is with the 75th MP. Combining an intricate puzzle of a plot and an exciting chase for truth and justice, Lee Child puts Reacher through his paces--and makes him question who he is, what he's done, and the very future of his untethered life on the open road. I hate to say it … but after 18 books, Reacher is starting to suffer from the Spenser Syndrome: a great character that is becoming redundant.

They uncover the murder charge against Richer to cover up, a “trashed” murder crime for a LAPD & “Uncle Sam” mistake? He stayed on his feet for a long second, and then his knees got the message that the lights were out upstairs, and he went down in a vertical heap, like he had jumped off a wall. The third and last installment in the Harry Barnet trilogy delivers the same solid crime/murder mystery as the previous books.This reveals itself for be the fact the men were tested on with a memory removing drug. During their original trials, some locals were killed in an accident and this rather ridicoulsly has them being covered up in the current tense. They follow Samantha many days to a cafe - Sam asks why first! The paternity suit was a fraudulent “service” to get alimony. “You can’t be dad”, the cafe’s waitress is mom & neither of you recognized each other.
