Past Tense (Jack Reacher #23)
Only for the already-devoted Reacher fans and then.... The challenge for Child on book #23 is that he's already written several books in which the bad guys do unspeakable things to children, are holding one or more entire towns or communities hostage by threats of violence to anyone who steps out of line. He's also written several books in which Reacher hooks up with the FBI agent investigating either related crimes or the targets of Reacher's interest. In order to avoid duplicating these plot
I was so happy to receive this as an advance review copy from NetGalley and the publisher as I had never read a Jack Reacher book until now. Let me just say - it was awful! I was so disappointed. The story line I found very far-fetched on both sides. I honestly kept thinking and hoping it would get better, but so sorry to say it did not. I was not shocked to see many one star reviews when I went to Amazon. I am not giving up on Lee Child's writing though, and I have a couple of his previous
I had been getting tired of Lee Child's Jack Reacher character. When the series first started it was an interesting concept. Guy's career in the Army comes to an end and he hitchhikes around the country. No roots. Nothing but the clothes on his back and a traveling toothbrush. He doesn't look for trouble but it somehow seems to find him wherever he winds up. And he always saves the day. Saves the damsel in distress or some little guy. A hero. Which is pretty nice to fantasize about in this day

Jack Reacher plans to follow the autumn sun on an epic road trip across America, from Maine to California. He doesn't get far. On a country road deep in the New England woods, he sees a sign to a place he has never been - the town where his father was born. He thinks, what's one extra day? He takes the detour. At the very same moment, close by, a car breaks down. Two young Canadians are trying to get to New York City to sell a treasure. They are stranded at a lonely motel in the middle of nowhere. It's a strange place ... but it's all there is. The next morning in the city clerk's office, Reacher asks about the old family home. He's told no one named Reacher ever lived in that town. He knows his father never went back. Now he wonders, was he ever there in the first place? So begins another nail-biting, adrenaline-fuelled adventure for Reacher. The present can be tense, but the past can be worse. That's for damn sure.Itemize About Books Past Tense (Jack Reacher #23)

If you're into stuff like this, you can read the full review.Similar Story Archs: "Past Tense" by Lee ChildI have said elsewhere that crime fiction seems to flourish in times of stress, such as our era now. I fully expect more great detective fiction in the near future as it is one of the few genres that can show society from top to bottom: the detective, investigator or whatever, in many of the best novels, talks to both the monied and the moneyless at the same time against a puzzlingOnly for the already-devoted Reacher fans and then....
