"Lee Child is often mistaken for a US writer, so skilfully and enthusiastically has he embraced the idiom of the American thriller ... One of the genre’s finest practitioners."
"First-rate thriller, with the imperturbable Reacher meting out his brand of justice to the villains."
"Jack Reacher is irresistible."
"The thing about Lee Child’s books is that you can’t put the damn things down."
"The Jack Reacher series of thrillers...are all hugely exciting, and knowledgeable about weapons and technology. They exude a powerful sense of right and wrong ... We’ve seen him as a right of wrongs and always as God’s gift to women."
"Child’s strengths are fast-moving dialogue and gripping action sequences ... The excitement lasts from the first to the final page."
"Reacher sees justice done while kicking commendable amounts of ass ... Intricate plotting makes for an engrossing read."
"Jack Reacher is the modern-day equivalent of the engimatic stranger who rides into town to sort everything out with fist and gun. The Reacher series has been utterly addictive thanks to British-born Child’s clear, sparse prose, deft characterisation and crisp dialogue. This ninth appearance of Jack Reacher is about as good is it gets in this genre."
"Fantastic…Child weaves a mesmerising plot with a shock denouement."
"Hot, indomitable… pure, escapist gold."
