Bad Luck and Trouble by Lee Child
I hope you all know by now that I'm not a serial reader. I'm also not much of a mystery or thriller reader, but a friend is in love with Jack Reacher and gave me one of her beloved paperbacks to read. Since we are both people who would prefer to have our nose in a book than do anything else, I said I'd give it a try.
Reacher is an ex-military special investigator. He was part of a team of special investigators who have suddenly started showing up dead. When he received an unknown deposit to his dwindling bank account, he knows he's being summoned back to work. The rest of the group slowly respond to urgent messages to assemble to hunt for the killers. Reacher travels light, with only a toothbrush to his name. Neagley, O'Donnell and Dixon have enjoyed much more lucrative careers than Reacher since leaving the army, showing up with suitcases and credit cards to finance the search. Reacher resorts to emptying the wallets of men he kills along the way in order to keep up.
I enjoyed the the action in Bad Luck and Trouble. The pace, tension and suspense made this a real page turner. The author did a great job of keeping the reader guessing. I'm not sure I'm ready to ready the other 19 Jack Reacher novels but if another one came my way, I wouldn't turn it down.
