Book Review: Worth Dying For by Lee Child (Jack Reacher 15)


I enjoy reading my yearly dose of Jack Reacher, the Lee Child hero drifter. Mr Tough Guy.

This novel sees Reacher taking on organised crime in there is plenty of action to keep you interested in this novel. He is in small town America and the Duncan family control everything. They have gradually gained control of the transportation business in the area and they have everyone in the community in their grasp. The town folk are terrified but that is the way things are.

Then step forward Jack Reacher.

He takes on the Duncan family and their henchmen. They are no match for Reacher and he keeps one step ahead of the game. There is plenty of violent action here! However, there is also a mystery in the background too, why happened to the little adopted Asian girl all those years ago? How is that connected to events today?

I enjoyed this novel for the two main strands of the story. The relentless grinding down of the Duncan's power and the solving of the mystery of the little Asian girl from years ago.

The next Jack Reacher instalment is out on 29 November 2011 and I will be getting my Kindle copy ASAP!

9/10 for me for this novel.
