Book Review: Nothing to Lose by Lee Child (Jack Reacher 12)

This novel was published in 2008 and is written by the English author Lee Child but as ever it features the American ex-army cop Jack Reacher. The drifter with no fixed address who comes into town and cleans up mess.

In this novel he comes to the town of Despair in Colorado that gives him the kind of welcome that is colder than cold. He gets run out of town but vows to return once he has licked a few wounds.

He starts to uncover why the town of Despair is so unwelcoming and he gets a love interest along the way. His usual hard man tactics are called upon and his investigators nose leads him to the truth behind the poor welcome.

At times you can feel the suspense and the danger but you are OK as Reacher is in control but not before a few blows are given and taken too.

I enjoyed this novel and I like the Jack Reacher series.

I would give this one 8/10
