DON'T MISS REACHER ON PRIME VIDEO!
Ex military policeman Jack Reacher is enjoying the lazy anonymity of Key West when a stranger shows up asking for him. He’s got a lot of questions. Reacher does too, especially after the guy turns up dead. The answers lead Reacher on a cold trail back to New York, to the tenuous confidence of an alluring woman, and the dangerous corners of his own past.

Jack almost left us!
4By nonicknameplease#Very riveting story. I had my doubts for Reacher.Forget the reviews, this book is great!
5By DWFREIDELLTo the reviewer who made an issue with Reacher obsessed with a teenage girl, re-read the. Book. The obsession was when he was a soldier in his early 20’s, she was 15. 10-15 years later they were reacquainted when he father (Reachers former CO) died. It was instant love by each other.15 year old crush?
1By MplsflatStory is meh and the persistent return to how attracted Jack was to a teenager dozens of times didn’t leave much room for the mindless enjoyment of the first two booksTripwire
5By dorian holleyLee Child hit his stride on Reacher no. 3. I hate to critique any creation. I know how easy it is to opine. I don’t know how difficult it is to write a book millions of people love. For me 1 and 2 were ‘likes’. 3 is a ‘love’. Perhaps a bit heavy on the descriptions? But I’m a student of Elmore Leonard who said he’d write it then strip away all the describing. That’s how I lean. Gimme the story. But no shade on Child. What a wonderful teller of tales. He can take a seat right next Leonard and Macdonald and Stark. dorian holleyReally?
2By CareerMovesA guy successfully living under another name for 40 years is somehow afraid that he’ll be exposed and has to run? He could have just changed his name - end of story. A Child-like staple - people feeding the bad guy information.Good read
4By RMD8261Typical Reacher formula. Always good.Tripwire
5By Randy52!This has me totally engaged throughout the entire book. They should pick this for season 4 of Reacher.Could not put it down!
5By ccdesignsLoved this book! Spellbinding from start to finish! One of the best Reacher novels so far!Reacher never disappoints
4By stone crapWhat can I say? Especially now with the TV series going on? Reacher just doesn’t fail. Usually, he doesn’t even struggle much!Tripwire
3By goldbareReacher and Child at their best!!Another enjoyable Reacher
4By MarkiemapoEnjoyable and fun to read as the many other reacher novels.Best (worst) villain in the series
5By Too much to buy!I’ve reread many of the novels in the series but this one gets me every time. Perfect balance of Reacher’s past and and invisible, but incredibly formidable adversary. Suspenseful until the end even if you’ve already read it!Good
4By delaynehVery good read.Not his best
3By DonnieboyTDescriptions drug on too long for me.Good
5By RfyVery surprising endingAmazing Read
5By DrHornExcellent plot, characters, and surprises. One of the best Reacher reads.Tripwire
5By becplantsExcellent read! From beginning to end. Everyone needs a Reacher in their life.Another hit
4By Andy TreAdmittedly, this book starts off kind of slow. The development of the plot is very long and well though out. Lee Child did a great job weaving in some unforeseen surprises too. Overall, another quality book in this great series.Disappointing
2By schmenge1Lots of superfluous descriptions. Story is twice as long as it should be. Lots of time spent with support character development but a postscript of the outcome of their ordeal is not revealed. Hokey ending especially the use of morphine for three weeks to induce a coma. Not realistic. It’s like the author got bored with writing this story and quickly tried to tie up loose ends but missed many and was sloppy about it.
