You can always count on Lee Child to come through with an
exciting read. Night School is no exception. 1996 and Jack
Reacher is in the army receiving another medal for merit. Then he’s sent to
school. Sounds boring, but he’s off the grid and the classroom holds him, an
FBI agent, and a CIA analyst. Forget reading, writing, and ‘rithmetic – how
about chasing the reason for a hundred million dollars getting into the hands
of a Jihadist sleeper cell. Tasked with finding the American with the money and
finding out what’s in exchange takes Reacher and his chosen partner, Sergeant
Frances Neagley, to Hamburg, Jalalabad, and Kiev.
Cover blurb – Night School moves like a bullet
through a treacherous landscape of double crosses, faked identities, and new
and terrible enemies, as Reacher maneuvers inside the game and outside of the
law.
Ricochet with Reacher and rebound at every challenge. He’s a
large man in charge of a commanding presence, yet light on his feet, and smooth
with the patter. He trusts his gut, and is fast with his hands. Lee Child never
disappoints. The author is at the top of his game with Reacher. Set aside time
because once you start this book, you will want to finish it. Going back to
school can be fun.
I haven't read any of this series, and I know there is a movie out with this character too. Sounds like a fast and suspenseful read. Thanks for the review! Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteBooks and movies are fun. Escapism
DeleteA good review Joanne on an excellent book . Good luck to the author, I'm sure the book will do well.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
This author is very successful!
DeleteSure knows how to churn them out indeed, as Reacher gets the job done.
ReplyDeleteConsistent and clever too
DeleteIsn't there a movie called Jack Reacher?
ReplyDeleteyes, there are two reacher movies out there. Tom Cruise doesn't look like the physical description of the book character, but he does a good job
DeleteSounds like it would be a hard one to put down, happy weekend!
