About this deal

He is the recipient of many awards, most recently Author of the Year at the 2019 British Book Awards. The start followed classic Reacher lines, but from there it descended into a 'This happens, then this happens, then this happens, then the end'. He quickly uncovers a connection of Angela with a local man, Sam Roth, who somewhat improbably died of a heart attack shortly before her arrival. I found the transition from Lee to Andrew pretty seamless, with no diminution of author skill or reader enjoyment.

In the first two books Andrew penned, you could tell he was experimenting with his version and vision for Reacher. But the official ruling is suicide so Reacher feels compelled to figure out what's really going on and who would want her dead. He has already figured out that there’s something very suspicious going on and that’s only confirmed by the reception he receives as he arrows in on Winson.It’s a dark, horrifying crime that may be difficult to come to terms with and if more was revealed about it, I may have been more convinced about Reacher’s actions when he reached Winson. I have followed the Jack Reacher series since its inception, which is why I was a tad leery when Lee Child invited his brother to collaborate. After arriving in a small Colorado town, Jack Reacher witnesses a young woman tossed in front of a bus, before the purported killer left with her purse.

Lee has three homes—an apartment in Manhattan, a country house in the south of France, and whatever airplane cabin he happens to be in while traveling between the two. While this is going on, those other folks begin to converge at the same place - the Minerva Correctional Facility in Winson, Mississippi. The way he has flashbacks of previous cases, former bad guys he’s put away, or heart-warming memories of his family, as odd as they were, that are pertinent to the current plot. A huge draw at countless Waterstones events, working with Lee over the years has for us always been an absolute pleasure.Reacher follows the killer on foot, not knowing that he is part of something much bigger and far-reaching . Of the first 26 I gave all 5 star ratings except for four which got four star ratings (mostly recent ones).

While there is something appealing about his rootlessness, it’s often oft-putting to mainstream characters who don’t know how to classify him or whether to trust him. As always, it’s Jack’s determination and singlemindedness of purpose that is compelling just as much as the action.Andrew Child's No Plan B harkens back to the Reacher of old and is the best of the three he has written. If it isn't careful, PRH is going to milk this cash cow dry with an annual publishing schedule that takes the loyal reader for granted (Now there's a corporate conspiracy plot line Reacher should investigate). In No Plan B, Reacher goes for the most over-the-top violence that was inconsistent with his character. As with any long-running series like this, the plot scenario never varies too far from what has always worked well.

This could not have been written by Lee Child (Andrew Child is listed as a co-author), and I doubt Lee had anything to do with it or even read it. Our Non-Fiction Range includes: Academic, Photography, Audio books, Business, Cook Books, Craft Books, Health and Fitness Books, Mind, Body, Spirit (Tarot). While others think they saw the woman leap, Reacher is sure about what he saw and tells the authorities as much. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.There’s a crime sitting behind all of the mystery at the center of this book, but it’s really only presented as an aside with very little substance provided. I loved the concept of Reacher working with someone who wasn’t an old Army co-worker, but sadly, the relationship between Reacher and Hannah never developed.
