Ilustration Supposing Books The Hard Way (Jack Reacher #10)
In Lee Child’s astonishing new thriller, ex–military cop Reacher sees more than most people would...and because of that, he’s thrust into an explosive situation that’s about to blow up in his face. For the only way to find the truth—and save two innocent lives—is to do it the way Jack Reacher does it best: the hard way….Jack Reacher was alone, the way he liked it, soaking up the hot, electric New York City night, watching a man cross the street to a parked Mercedes and drive it away. The car contained one million dollars in ransom money. And Edward Lane, the man who paid it, will pay even more to get his family back. Lane runs a highly illegal soldiers-for-hire operation. He will use any amount of money and any tool to find his beautiful wife and child. And then he’ll turn Jack Reacher loose with a vengeance—because Reacher is the best man hunter in the world.
On the trail of a vicious kidnapper, Reacher is learning the chilling secrets of his employer’s past…and of a horrific drama in the heart of a nasty little war. He’s beginning to realize that Edward Lane is hiding something. Something dirty. Something big. But Reacher also knows this: he’s already in way too deep to stop now.

Okay, this one actually made me laugh multiple times.Reacher, dangerous with a mirror on a stick, lmao.All the good guys being captured without a fight was scandalous. Made Reacher's job much more impressive, admittedly.9 millions left there?? Are you kidding me? All this talk about helping the injured for nothing??Delivering the message with a poker was fun. a lil dubious, but none the less.Gregory was the biggest disappointment ever.I feel this is one of the better of the Jack Reacher series, the tenth one. I have been reading them out of order, as I pick them up at used bookstores. I don't think it makes much difference. In this one, Reacher is in New York City, a different environment for him than usual, as he is often in the country, in small towns. And, as usual, he gets caught up in a situation. He agrees to help an ex-military guy named Lane get his kidnapped wife and stepdaughter back...this despite Lane heading a
Weak 3 stars. Not as good as other Reacher books. Mostly solving a mystery. Not enough action. But it kept my interest.STORY BRIEF:Reacher is sitting in a coffee shop and observes a man enter a parked car and drive away. Reacher soon learns that this man was a kidnapper picking up ransom money. Lanes wife and daughter were kidnaped. Lane asks Reacher to help find them. Lane runs a group of military mercenaries for hire.REVIEWERS OPINION:Its mostly police style investigating. Not enough smart
Lessons learned: kidnappings are never as simple as they appear. Pay attention when a main character goes to Staples. England is the best place for vigilante killings, but use quiet automatic weapons, because loud ones scare British people. Go to small bars in England - Americans are supposed to buy pints for everyone in the bar. Refrigerator art can be a major plot point. Pokers can hurt. Corollary to the go to the bathroom/your food arrives in a restaurant rule: when one of the good guy leaves
Jack Reacher does it again! These books are a lot of fun to read, even though they are a bit violent for my tastes. I love seeing how Reacher's mind works and how he figures out the most implausible scenarios. And he manages to travel without a driver's license, credit card, or cell phone, and only one set of clothing. In reality this would be impossible, but it's still kind of fun. I almost thought this story would end without a lot of details of guns, but of course, that came into play in the
Twelfth chronologically (and tenth publication-wise) in the Jack Reacher thriller series about a huge man with an even bigger sense of honor who will take down the bad guys.My TakeThis was another intense one. I do love how Reacher withheld and poked at Lane. How he pushed to get involved in the rescue of Kate and Jade. This man does not suffer fools! He already has a tendency to observe, calculate, and catalog and his years in the military police have provided him with a wealth of psychological
The Jack Reacher series is probably my biggest guilty pleasure read. I never go in expecting great literature, but I always expect a story that has me curious and excited about how things will play out. It is part of the reason why I take such large gaps between reading each book. Reading them back-to-back ruins the fun somewhat, whereas reading one every few months or so means I get the enjoyment the books deserve.Although the books are immensely popular, I find myself constantly giving
