This is classic Reacher. You know the formula: Reacher stumbles upon a problem, picks up some allies, and takes care of some bad guys. Without spilling any hints, I will say that I found the storyline very compelling and relevant. An excellent addition to the series.

Loved Lee Child's newest Jack Reacher book, he does not disappoint. I know my customers will grab this as soon as it comes in.

A great book! I enjoyed every minute of it. I love Jack Reacher's adventures. Thank you for letting me read it early.

What can I say. I love Jack Reacher stories. This one is so good. It was so revelant with the drug problems of today. It was a fast read for me and I couldn't put it down. Our patrons at our library will love it!

Let me say that I just love Reacher. When he finds a West Point Class ring in the window of a pawn shop, he just has to find the rightful owner to find who the ring belongs to. Of course, nothing is as simple as it seems when it comes to Reacher's life. A total page turner. Highly recommend.

Another Awesome Jack Reacher book! I love the well written fast paced storyline. Reacher finds trouble that he is determined to right. A pleasure to read and always fun to read how Reacher thinks and takes action.

This is the best Jack Reacher book by far, might have something to do with the fact I live by Rapid City, SD. The story gets you hooked immediately, once again Lee Child talks about and makes a great story out issues that are a huge concern at this moment. I totally got into this story and stayed in it while I went on with day to day life. Love this book and I highly recommend it, especially to someone who wants to read something different and exciting!!

This is a good read involving our favorite nosy nomad. Reacher gets curious about the owner of something he saw in a pawn shop, and he is off and running to the Midwest and mountainous west. He is not alone this time, as he teams up with a retired FBI agent and a few others. Having other people to bounce ideas and observations off of added an interesting element to the discourse. The story itself shined a light on a problem much of America is either unaware of or choosing to ignore. All in all, the book was a very enjoyable read.

For the first time, Lee Child has given a glimpse into Jack Reacher's heart. Oh, don't worry, he hasn't gone all sappy on us! The Midnight Line tells a fast-paced story and keeps us on the edge of our seat, cheering him on as he mows down the bad guys in Reacher's inimitable style. But this story comes just after his time with Michele Chang has ended, and for the first time we see that Jack's not okay with an abrupt ending and a new, directionless beginning. For the first time, we see a hint that he is not always as strong on the inside as he looks on the outside.

Lee Child is a great master at telling powerful stories in simple declarative sentences. This is Reacher #22. I may have to go back and read all of them again, because after a Lee Child novel, most of the others seem kind of flat.

I must admit to being a Jack Reacher junkie, I wait breathlessly for our yearly tryst. This did not disappoint. Not only is Reacher back, but in a very topical situation which entertains as it educates the reader about the current opiod crisis.

I urge all my students, future teachers and parents to read this and see how the trade in these dangerous drugs is carried out across the country.

This is an opportunity to meet a softer Jack Reacher. The spotting of a delicate West Point class ring sends him on a hunt for it's owner. He is Galahad to the disfigured former army vet. His kindness to her and her family is a window into his restless soul. He rescues her, breaks up the viscous opioid ring and keeps the reader rapt.

In a curious way, I loved this new, nicer Reacher. His sensitivity and ability to understand the fragile, damaged soldier really helped me gain insights into the soul of one of my favorite and most exciting characters in literature.

I am so thrilled to have received this ARC. The Jack Reacher series is one of my favorites and I anxiously await each fall's new release and then read it in one day. This one was no exception! I really enjoyed the story and the characters. This felt a little different than a typical Reacher book, a little softer maybe, but at the same time there was still classic Reacher in there.

Reacher destroys the drug trade, saves a wounded vet, and moves on...I love this series...I love Jack Reacher. Lee Child rocks

Great book! Lee Child did not disappoint with this new installment in the Jack Reacher series. It was hard to put this book down and I would definitely recommend it!

Lee Child has written another "can't put it down" thriller. Jack Reacher finds a West Point class ring in a pawn shop and goes on a quest to find the owner. In typical Jack Reacher style, he encounters troubles wherever he turns. Child is able to carry the reader along through nail biting dread with enough twists and turns to keep it interesting.

I'm a long time fan of Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels. They never fail to draw me into the story and the situation. This one starts with Reacher's feeling of duty toward another veteran and careens into situations I would never have expected. There's always a bit of "the end justifies the means" in the Reacher novels and this one is no exception. It's a bit gritty in sections but the book would not be as compelling if those scenes weren't there. I won't reveal details but this one takes you in and out, thankfully, of a twisted subculture that Child helped me to understand more fully. If you're already a Reacher fan, you'll appreciate The Midnight Line. If you're new to the series, it might be a good one to start with.

It's always a great day when there's a new Reacher book. Compelling reading, one of my favorite series.

Most people feel they do not have control over the many aspects of modern life. Reading a Reacher book gives you a few hours of the satisfaction of seeing the world through the eyes of someone who very definitely is in control. Jack Reacher is not owned by possessions -- all he carries is a toothbrush and his passport. He has neither home nor car. He is not driven by the opinions of others. He is not conflicted by moral questions. His values are constant and direct his every action. Reacher is a unique character in description and behavior and entering into his world is a great escape from any problems the reader might have. Lee Childs' writing style is an example of craft in the service of story. The sentence structure is as direct as Reacher himself and moves forward without artifice. Every now and then the author will toss in figurative language, as when he describes a very large dog as having teeth "the size of rifle ammunition." It reminds us that writing that looks effortless is the result of great skill.
In Midnight Line Reacher spots a very small West Point class ring in a pawn shop window, and just like that, he is determined to solve the mystery of who would give up such a significant item and then rescue her, if necessary. He is a mixture of Sir Galahad and Don Quixote as he begins a journey that takes him across the wide open spaces of South Dakota and Wyoming. The first third of the book is vintage Reacher, confronting bullies and resolving any obstacle in his path, but as the story unfolds, we learn more about the mysterious soldier, and action often takes a back seat to conversation.
Until the action picks up in the last third of the book, I found my attention wandering.. Then when the plans begin to fall into place, we are caught up again by the way Reacher has managed to save the owner of the ring and take out the bad guys. As usual he comes out on top but I confess the story was not as gripping as some of his past adventures and I felt little regret when he got back on the road again.

Lee Child and Jack Reacher keep getting better. Loved this book, couldn't put it down.
