Review: Blue Moon

Blue Moon by Lee Child
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jack Reacher is riding a Greyhound bus when he notices an old man sleeping with a bank envelope sticking out of his pocket and another passenger has noticed that envelope too. Once they leave the bus, a mugger tries to attack this man, but Reacher steps in and saves him and his money. Jack offers to help him home, but the man doesn’t want any help. Of course, Reacher knows an underdog when he sees it and decides to stick his nose into the matter. Now Reacher finds himself inside a city with two gangs fighting over territory. The Albanian and Ukrainian gangs don’t know what they are up against when Jack decides to help someone in their city.

Blue Moon is the 24th book in the Jack Reacher series. It is still amazing the trouble that Jack finds as he travels the United States trying to mind his own business. Readers of the previous books know that there is no such thing as Reacher looking the other way. If there is trouble, he is usually knee-deep inside of the solution. Child has taken the idea of gangs and mafia and spun it into a new light. The adventure is high and the action is fast-paced (as usual). Blue Moon does not disappoint; whether you are reading them in order or this is your first one, you will enjoy the story until the very end.
