Lee and Andrew Child write well together. I hope they continue. The story is seamless. It is jack reacher at his best and don't we all love that
This one was ok but you can tell he has written 20 + books on this character. It just felt tired and not as good as some of the others
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for letting me review book
Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Jack wakes up to a nightmare that he has little memory of. His captors think he was an accomplice with the individual he got a ride from. This book kept me interested from the start.
Ooh another Jack Reacher novel - yex, please! These are always fun and action-packed so I was very happy to pick up this book.
Description:
Reacher wakes up, alone, in the dark, handcuffed to a bed in a makeshift hospital room. His few possessions are gone. He has no memory of getting there. The last thing he can recall is the car he had hitched a ride in getting run off the road. The driver was killed. The people who staged the attack assume Reacher was the driver's accomplice and patch up his wounds as they plan to make him talk. A plan that will backfire spectacularly . . .
My Thoughts:
Reacher was in too deep in the very beginning of this book and the troubles got deeper still. This was, as usual with Reacher, full of action and much criminal intent. Reacher to the rescue! I loved the room the stuff was stored in with the over-the-top security. This was certainly a page-turner that kept me glued to the pages. If you like lots of action and high tension, you will like all of the Jack Reacher books. Can't believe this is number 29!
Thanks to Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine | Delacorte Press through Netgalley for an advance copy.
In Too Deep is the 29th book in the Jack Reader series created by Lee Child but now written by Andrew Child. I have always loved Jack Reacher stories especially the action, and unique methods to solving murders. This book read more like the original books than the other books penned by Andrew Child which was a welcome change. I look forward to more books in this series.
In too Deep is the latest installment in the Jack Reacher series and as always I loved it. Reacher is forever my wayward hero. This book starts off at breakneck speed and the pace Keri’s going from start to finish. I absolutely love seeing the wheels turn in that brilliant mind. Reacher is probably my most favorite human character ever. He is as close to a supernatural super hero as a regular man can achieve and I find his character fascinating. This book finds Reacher held hostage after a car crash he can’t remember and neck deep in a conspiracy that is far more dire then Reacher could ever realize initially. I love that even though he has no idea how he ended up where he is he didn’t even hesitate to take names and bust a few heads to not only gain freedom but figure out the long game. I was a bit super to see him ponder on how flights and luggage claim work or that he had no clue how to use uber and new cell phones. I get he lives of the grid and doesn’t rely on technology. However, a colonel who was a military police officer that doesn’t understand technology seemed off. I get not using it on the daily but he would certainly be aware if and understand it. Otherwise though the book is as brilliant as all previous installments and I highly recommend this fast os ex thriller. It absolutely does not disappoint and it is a fantastic addition to the series!
A good read, but pretty predictable. You can only write so many books about a character (in this case, 29) and be able to keep us guessing. Reacher's methods are nothing new by this point, and neither is the fact that he always has a side quest with a woman that ends up tied back to the main one. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.
I love Jack Reacher, can't get enough of his stories, and this one did not disappoint! The action, the intrigue, the modern-day quest and sleuth is just the best. Highly recommend.
Thank you to NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.
In Too Deep is the 29th book in the Jack Reader series created by Lee Child and now writen by his brother, Andrew Child.
"Reacher wakes up cuffed to a bed with no knowledge of how he got there. The last thing he remembers is a car accident with a stranger he hitched a ride with.
His captors believe he was an accomplice and think they can make him talk.
That plan will backfire..."
This is a different Reacher than previous books. This Reacherseems a little more vengeful. Amazing what he can do with just one working arm. The story takes a bit to figure out - lots of red herrings in this one - but you get to the point where Reacher does Reacher.
Still a good addition to the series.
Glad that Andrew agreed to continue the series.
I'm going to be the odd one out. I've read all the Reacher novels and enjoyed most of them but this one this one left me confused and unhappy that this was not the Reacher of the past. This installment sees Reacher captured by a gang of bad guys who are involved in fake art and art thievery. Huh. Took a long time to get to that but then it turns out late in the novel that something else is going on as well, something which was muddled, at least to me. More importantly, Reacher has always gotten into hot water because he's trying to help the underdog. Not so much here. Yes he does finally meet someone he wants to help but there's a certain heart and humanity missing. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. Know that is is a page turner but it's not a strong installment in the series.
Reacher has still got it! He was my Man of the Year in 1997 when he first debuted. Now, in 2024, he still is going strong. I am looking forward to his next adventure. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary ARC. This review contains my own thoughts and words.
A car is run off the road with Jack Reacher in it, having apparently hitch-hiked a ride as is his normal way of travel. The driver is dead, and when he wakes up, he is strapped to a bed with a broken arm and no memory of what has happened. Miraculously (of course), he manages to escape and comes in contact with another man claiming to be an FBI agent. But is he really an agent? When he also comes in contact with yet another law officer (female, of course) who has gone rogue to avenge the death of her father, the situation becomes clear - there are some really bad guys doing some really bad things - the worst of which is selling secret information to some foreign entities. Reacher uses a limited amount of information to discern what is really going on and must use his strength (superhuman?) and amazing intellect to get to the bottom of the situation.
This is the 29th book in the Jack Reacher series, originally authored by Lee Child. Books 25-28 were then co-authored by Lee and his younger brother Andrew (who also writes under the name of Andrew Grant). This is the first book written by Andrew alone (with at least 3 more under contract). While this was the typical Jack Reacher persona - traveling around the country with no home, somehow finding himself in the midst of circumstances that require his unique skills (both brain and muscle), and overcoming odds stacked heavily against him, it just didn’t have the “oomph” that we have become used to over the years. The book just seemed to rumble along until the last few chapters when things finally came together. I am not ready to give up on the series yet - let’s give Andrew a chance to work out the kinks in his taking over. My thanks to Delacorte Press and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review the ARC of this book.
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. I have read some of this series and seen the shows. Jack Reacher is the ultimate crime fighter. His journey always keeps you on the edge of your seat and In Too Deep is no exception. In the beginning, he wakes up pinned down and in a dark place and he remembers nothing. And you know Reacher, he gets loose and starts this new journey to find out the rest of the story and to make someone pay. Will Reacher remember what happened and will they pay for what they have done to him and others? So if you want an exciting story, this is the book for you. I really enjoy the Reacher books.
Great Reacher book. This was one of the more interesting of the many Reacher books. Reacher is with a bunch of bad guys and gets in a car crash with one of them, then gets saved by another, and you're never sure who the bad guys are and who the good guys are, and of course, Reacher figures it all out. Good book. Highly recommend.
Let me say at the outset that I've loved Jack Reacher for years (in the books, I hasten to add, of which this is the 29th). This one is not my favorite - maybe by half a country mile - but I stayed up past my bedtime to polish it off nonetheless.
Mostly, I guess, I just didn't warm up to any of the overabundance of characters - probably because it was a little hard to tell the good guys and gals from the bad. And for some reason, Reacher himself seemed a little "off" - but then, if I'd lost a chunk of my recent memory on top of trying to do my usual super-human feats with a broken wrist, I guess I'd be a little cranky as well. The wrist, in fact, is where it begins; Reacher wakes up tethered to a table in an unknown location. In typical Reacher fashion, he manages to get free - but he has no recollection of how he got to be where he is. So when a man arrives and shows him he's survived a car accident in the Ozarks during which an FBI agent was killed, Reacher decides, at least for the time being, to believe him.
But of course, not everyone is who they claim to be, and chapter perspective shifts let readers in on what's going on behind Reacher's back. Along the way, Reacher meets up with a disgraced female agent who's on the trail of the man she claims murdered her father - who, as it turns out, is directly connected to characters who are causing headaches for Reacher as well. Joining forces, then, is a no-brainer - especially since she's a computer whiz while Reacher remains a troglodyte when it comes to technology (although it amazes me how much he knows about it even though he doesn't even own a cell phone).
Needless to say, what they learn along the way turns out to be a huge threat to the American way of life, and as expected, saving our skins depends on Reacher learning the truth before the other side does. The fun - and action - is in the getting there, and trust me, there's plenty of it from start to finish. Another good installment, and I thank the publisher, via NetGalley, for allowing me to read and review a pre-release copy.
Reacher awakes, injured, handcuffed and having no idea where he is. What exactly has he stepped into this time.
The 29th installment of the Jack Reacher series has him once again alone and on the road. The premise felt a bit manufactured, and with Reacher’s injury and concussion the story seemed to move slower than normal. It just didn’t feel like the Jack Reacher than I’ve become accustomed to. Despite that, the storyline was unique and did keep me turning the pages.
As the authors transition from Lee Child to Andrew Child, I will have to accept that there may be a transition in Reacher as well.
The 29th adventure thriller finds Reacher strapped to a table with no memory of how he got there. Pretty decent plot that involves plenty of bad guys and various law enforcement agencies with lots of action and excitement. A quick, absorbing read.
Many thanks to the authors ands publisher for providing me with an arc of this new thriller via NetGalley. My review is voluntary and the opinions expressed are my own.
Another interesting installment to the Jack Reacher series.
I’ve been a fan since the beginning but when Mr Child started collaborating with Andrew Child you can tell the difference
I do enjoy the twists and turns and the overall way Jack always finds a way out.
In In Too Deep he’s injured from the beginning which makes everything more difficult and slows him down. He’s going to need all his intelligence to get out of this and find out what exactly happened.
But Jack nobody stops Jack.
Thank you #netgalley #delacortepress #intoodeep for this ARC
I enjoy reading Jack Reacher books, but this one seemed a little slower. Overall, however, a good book of action!
I have really enjoyed all the Reacher books. They are such a fun read and Reacher is such a cool character. This one was a little bit of a slow burn but overall, I enjoyed it!
