Across the country women are being murdered by a killer who leaves no evidence, no fatal wounds, no signs of struggle, and no clues to a motive. They are, truly, perfect crimes. In fact, the only thing that links the victims is the man they all knew: Jack Reacher.

Summary: A delightful game between author and reader
Comment: Lee Child plays the game well. Personally, I won this game, spotting the killer fairly early. That certainly didn't lessen my enjoyment of the book. It did free me, to an extent, so that I could carefully study some of the author's technique, his attempts to make me question my first certainty. And he certainly plays the game fairly. We are given many of the killer's thoughts from the very fist chapter on. So it's a case of matching the psychological profile we're given to the more superficial pictures of the characters. THis book also continues the subplot introduced in TRIPWIRE in which Reacher must make a crucial lifetime decision.I do recommend reading first DIE TRYING which introduces the Leon Garber character, and then TRIPWIRE in order to get the full subplot. The Jack Reacher novels are fairly fast reads in spite of the 400+ page length of each one, but I did find this one even faster than the others. Very highly recommended, but do read at least a couple in the series, preferably those I've mentioned, first.

Summary: The Best
Comment: One of the best spy/thriller series going. Once you start reading about Jack Reacher's hair-raising adventures you will be hooked. This is 4 in the series.

Summary: Another Reacher classic
Comment: As far as thrillers go this was very good. The characters were deep and enthralling, keeping your interest all the way through. There was enough suspense to keep you turning the pages, and plenty of action. If you enjoy Lee Child`s Jack Reacher books then this will please you. I`m a series fan and enjoy Child and Michael Connelly books immensely, if you like that kind of thriller read the `Soft Target` books by Conrad Jones. They are unputdownable!! Back to the review, ten out of ten.

Summary: Reacher! Change your clothes!
Comment: This is my fourth Reacher novel and the lone wolf business is wearing a little thin. I am halfway through the book and struggling. Our anti-hero has yet to change his clothes and must be getting a bit ripe. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue, writers are not required to notify readers every time a character changes clothes--it's assumed. But, since the author makes a major deal out of Reacher traveling only with a toothbrush (fold-up, no less), it becomes an issue. I find myself waiting for Reacher to launder his clothes, or as is his custom, throw them away and buy new ones. Other irritants: Everybody (Reacher obviously excluded) wears "pressed" jeans. Who the hell irons their jeans these days? And what's with the braless FBI agent? Finally, our man of honor is becoming increasingly obnoxious. You simply can't say ANYTHING to him without getting a fairly lame, if snotty reply. His hatred of the FBI's use of "profiling" to catch serial killers borders on the pathological. Reacher has some real issues here. Sadly, I have a few more Reacher books in the Amazon pipeline and will have to slog through them, periodically stopping, sighing and glaring at the picture of the author conveniently placed on the back cover.

Summary: Running Blind
Comment: I was very disappointed to find when I started reading the book that I had already read it under another title.
