Better Off Dead: (Jack Reacher 26)

That said, Lee Child and Andrew Child have knocked it out of the park with Reacher’s 26th novel, and I had a thoroughly enjoyable read. I will add that while this is book 26, you never feel you’ve missed out on anything if you haven’t read it’s predecessors.

I gave Better Off Dead, By Lee Child and Andrew Child five stars. Jack Reacher is a character oft imitated, but remains in a class of his own. There are very few series of books of which I own every copy, and Jack Reacher is one of them. This is another story narrated by Reacher, and while I do like the first person narrative, I do prefer third person for greater suspense as you get to experience every character’s perspective.

Better Off Dead finds Reacher helping another veteran, in part because in her desperation he doesn’t want her to do anything stupid, but mainly because it’s the people thing to do. Overall, I think this will be in my Top 10 of 2021, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great book which will make you want to read the other 25 novels, and numerous novellas too. He is direct, doesn’t suffer fools, and has that overriding sense of right and wrong, all of which makes him more compelling.
