Review: Better off Dead

Better off Dead Better off Dead by Lee Child
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reacher is always traveling.  Sometimes by bus and sometimes he is walking.  Today, he is traveling west on foot when he sees a single car crashed into a lonely tree.  The woman in the car looks injured, but she isn’t.  Michaela is an army veteran who became an FBI agent.  She believes her twin brother is involved with dangerous people and she is trying to find him or answers.  Reacher knows he is good at locating people, so he volunteers to assist her.  It seems that Dendoncker has everyone in his organization scared.  They are willing to die instead of risking his wrath.  Will Reacher be able to find the answers Michaela is looking for?

 

Better off Dead is the twenty-sixth Jack Reacher book and it is jammed pack with twists and turns to keep the reader going.  This story goes forward without giving any new tidbits about Reacher’s past, but that is OK because that means there were more words devoted to this new storyline.  Child always has big shoes to fill as he continues a saga that has spanned so many novels …how to keep Reacher fans happy without repeating stories?  Admirers of Jack Reader will enjoy this newest escape into the Reacherverse.
