Book Review: Second Son by Lee Child (A Jack Reacher short novel)

This is a Lee Child book that seems to be a growing trend in publishing and that is to issue short novels as Ebooks and I read this one on Kindle.

This book as ever with Lee Child features Jack Reacher the tough guy, but in this one he is still a child, the second son of a US Marine based on Okinawa island. He is used to moving around a lot and he therefore has to fight a few battles along the way to get himself and his family a quiet life wherever they go.

In this new place, Reacher takes on the bully and solves a mystery for his father too. We also learn something of Reacher in his family and his childhood.

A nice read although quite a short novel (it is priced accordingly too), and as I understand it this is only available as an Ebook.

8/10 for this enjoyable short read.
