Reacher gets drawn into a web of deceit and blackmail. Lots of complex characters and plots. Reacher shows a more caring side of his character by sticking by to help one of the blackmail victims whose nephew has been threatened. Lots of action as usual. Never disappoints.

I thoroughly enjoyed Exit Strategy. Jack Reacher is my hero! I can’t wait for the next book.

Exit Strategy is the thirtieth thriller in the Jack Reacher novels and once again this addictive series continues. Some of us, just cannot get enough of Reacher, the all-American hero created and written by a bloke from Coventry. Reacher is in Baltimore for a concert and needs a new coat, but first he needs coffee, where he sits in the corner watching the door and what else is going on within the coffee shop. He notices that two people are being ripped off by a con artist. A minor distraction which he deals with before moving on. As he leaves the coffee shop someone brushes past him in the doorway and he feels as if he has just been pickpocketed, but everything is there. When he is about to dump his old coat, he finds a handwritten note in his pocket asking for help. He decides to that out of interest he will go and see who wants the help, but not before checking everything out. But he will still go to the concert he came to town for. What he hears does not impress him and as he leaves there are some gentlemen outside who wish to discuss his intervention from earlier in the day. Reacher does give them the opportunity to walk away. In the end he goes with the person who wants help and whole new world of pain opens up, but not for Reacher. When Reacher finds out what is happening and how some mad privateer is trying to make a war and money from it, they have crossed the line. Reacher is the avenging angel before he is on his merry way once again. Reacher is the hero we all want on our side. He bangs heads, kicks butt and takes no prisoners, he does what every reader would love to do, taking names and kicking ass. Reacher reaches more readers than any Booker Prize winner will ever do.

Noy my cup of tea. Unbelievable throughout. Seems to have been written with the next gung-ho film in mind.
