This one starts off a little different, in that Reacher wakes up, shackled to a bed, not knowing where he is or how he got there. The action starts there and keeps on going. His signature fighting techniques are hindered by his injuries, but it doesn't slow him down. I read this as a digital ARC and just when you think the book is over and Reacher is headed down to New Orleans, he's not. It was like having a whole bonus story.! I love Jack Reacher and look forward to the new release every year.

Super fun and exciting Reacher book. Hard to tell where in the Reacher timeline this one takes place but none the less very very entertaining. Full of typical Reacher humor and action.

This was an unexpected DNF at 58%. I normally love this series. Unfortunately, this one just wasn't hitting. The pace was slower than expected and I didn't really care about our crime. Eventually, I decided I'd rather be reading something else. I'll await the next one!

I'm a huge Lee Child fan and love the character of Jack Reacher. I feel this is the best of the books that the brothers have written together where Jack's voice is back again! I definitely recommend it!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

As usual, the story grabs you from the beginning. Reacher is in trouble, handcuffed and concussed. He manages to get himself free and now must try to recall how he got there. There are several story lines and points of view that, initially appear unrelated but come together nicely at the end. Reacher doesn’t accept anything at face value and once committed to action, will always see it through (no exception here). His sense of right and wrong, and the consistency in which he follows the path that he’s set for himself, keeps you guessing to the end. Can’t wait for the next installment in this riveting series.

This was just an ok read for me. It was a slow burn lacking some twists and turns. Overall, you can read it but don’t expect too much excitement.

Lee and Andrew Child get better at writing together each time they try. This is #4 in the partnership. That being said, Andrew is still injecting superfluous emotion into Reacher and the book is way way too long. The final act is unneeded. Keep trying guys.

Another thrilling adventure with Reacher. All the twists and turns expected in a Reacher novel as well as his gruff demeanor. Reacher’s memory loss adds an interesting angle but as always, he pivots well in his environment.

Thank you to the authors, publisher and NetGalley for the ARC to this book in exchange for an honest review.

A new Reacher novel is like a warm blanket. You know what you will get and quite frankly, I am ok with that. I was thoroughly entertained as Reacher once again can't let go of another injustice or in this case another threat to national security. As this series is nearing 30 volumes, I would like to see Reacher explore his mortality and a more human side. I think that would make this series even more interesting going forward. I would definitely recommend this book as there is nothing more entertaining than a new Reacher adventure.

Another great book in the Reacher series. Jack ends up tied up after having an accident that left him without any memory of the event. As usual Reacher is able to get himself free and then starts the fast paced ride to the end. This story is not short of adrenaline and sit on your seat stressful moments. He is able to figure out what is going on based on his observations and military background. This story will keep you up reading until the very last page. The only disappointment I had with this story is that Reacher never regained his memory of the accident but was able to piece together what happened.

Thank you NetGalley and Delacorte Press for an ARC copy in return for an honest review.

I was a bit disappointed in this edition to the Reacher series. It started out great with Reacher waking up chained to a table in a dark room with no memory of how he got there. His one thought, someone is going to pay for this. But from there it kind of meandered. The plot involved a gang planning to rob a remote Russian's house filled with art and other loot. But the plan was too complicated and hard to follow. There was obviously something else that was their real goal, but what that might be was not revealed until the end. As a result, there was never that great threat that Reacher usually finds himself fighting to prevent and no one clear bad guy you love to hate. Also Reacher was handicapped with memory loss, a concussion and a broken wrist limiting his usual physical options, which lead to a lot of sitting and thinking, It was not a bad book, just not one of the better in this excellent series. Thanks to Random House and Netgalley for allowing me to read this advanced copy in exchange for a review.

Another amazing story, once again Reacher is in a unique situation that only he can get himself out of.
I absolutely love these books, I have reread them a number of times. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for something to read.

What's to ta;lk about? It's the latest installment in the Jack Reacher series, and every Reacher Creature on the planet will want to get their hands on this asap. Jack finds himself in a strange place, with no memory and is soon involved with a criminal gang, and maybe with the FBI. Twisty suspense will keep readers glued to the pages. Highly recommended. #Saltwater #NetGalley#SaltMarshAuthorSeries

I’ve read all the Reacher books, but I think this is the first one I’ve given only 3 stars. My reasons are simple — too much talk and not enough action. A triple layered scheme involving undercover federal agents and a host of conmen and enforcers promises much but doesn’t deliver as I’ve come to expect. Reacher figures out what is going on and proceeds to lay it out for this book’s obligatory no-nonsense, highly competent female associate. Unfortunately a number of the bad guys are physically missing which makes it difficult to put a personality to a name. Two of the schemers were vividly drawn but the contrast with the rest of the crowd made the deficiency stand out even more.
Most of the book is set up with Reacher some kind of genius puzzle solver who figures out what is going to happen next without having to move from his sear and then spells it out for his audience. There are a few twists but not enough to make up for the lack of what we all came for — Reacher in full avenging hero mode. The ending was a total “meh”moment..
After the last Reacher opus, I felt pretty confident that the torch had been smoothly passed from Lee to Andrew, but now I’m not so sure. I hope they can redeem themselves before the series goes on with Andrew as the single author.

In Too Deep is the latest installment of the popular Jack Reacher series. Reacher wakes up in a strange room after being in a car accident. He has no idea where he is or who brought him there. The action starts there and keeps on until the end. This was the first Reacher book I've read, and I didn't know what to expect, but it was a high-paced, suspenseful thriller that was a quick and fun read. Thanks to Delacorte Press and NetGalley for the ARC.

In Too Deep is a rather complicated story by Andrew Child that involves lots of gold, nuclear secrets, and much violence. Andrew Child took over the popular Jack Reacher series when his father, Lee Child, retired. Yet I would suggest here, that in my opinion, the character in this novel named Jack Reacher is an imposter. His behavior bears little resemblance to what we saw in the real Jack Reacher novels, and the charm that came with those Reacher stories is missing in In Too Deep..
Which isn't to say that this is a bad novel. All the mechanisms used to find the bad guys and secret documents did become a little tedious, but I can see plenty of reasons why the plot would interest readers. Unless, of course, they came to the book expecting Jack Reacher!
Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Reacher wakes up to find himself handcuffed to a flat surface and with a fracture rendering one hand almost useless. He has no memory of how he got there. Is this scenario contrived? Yes. Do we care? Not one bit. This is pure entertainment that comes just once a year; don’t ruin it by quibbling over details. Reacher’s situation gives him the opportunity to prove that even when odds are stacked against him, he can still use creativity and muscle to beat up some bad guys. The most appealing thing about the scenario is that even though Reacher has no idea what is happening, he hasn’t lost the curiosity, intelligence, and critical thinking that make him such a good investigator. Working with no smartphone and almost no information, he still almost instinctively processes what people tell him and decides what does or does not make sense. In the last book, the authors cleverly set the story in the past to highlight Reacher’s investigative skills in the pre-Google era; here, they accomplish the same thing by isolating him from his own memory of what happened. He figures out who the bad guys are and also how to manipulate them, teaming up along the way with some occasionally unwilling partners in law enforcement to save the day.

Here we go, with book number 29 (!) in the series. “In Too Deep” by Lee Child, Andrew Child is the latest Jack Reacher novel, a rapid-fire page turner that one expects from the Child brothers, and (providing you suspend some disbelief) a novel that delivers the action.

We start (as usual) with a precarious situation that only seems to happen to Reacher – the driver that has offered him a ride is run off the road, with Reacher being injured and knocked out. He wakes up handcuffed to a bed with no recollection of what happened. It turns out (suspend disbelief #1) that the driver was an undercover FBI agent working with a criminal gang that has been forging art, smuggling, and doing assorted other bad things. As usual with a group of bad guys in these type of books, there are plots among them, betrayals, hidden plans and agendas, double-crosses, and lies, oh so many lies. Suffice it to say that they are trying to hold it together for one more big score, an explosive document that could blow the lid off of a secret that the US government has been hiding, which they are trying to sell to the highest bidder.

But they didn’t count on Reacher, who doesn’t take kindly to being handcuffed. Even with a broken arm and a concussion, Reacher decides me must step in and save the day. And as fans of this series are asking “is there a female love interest that gets involved as well?”, I can tell you that yes, there’s an agent who has gone solo to avenge the death of her father who was killed by this gang, who teams up with Reacher (as usual) in more ways then one.

So, what do we get? Typical Reacher: non-stop action, outnumbered fights, accurate intelligent conclusions from very limited data, practically superhuman strength and endurance, a little bit of romance, and an explosive conclusion. All in a day’s work for our lonely hero.

It seems to me that with Andrew Child writing more we seem to be moving away from Reacher as a human and turning him more into a machine, that the limited-depth characters have gotten even shallower, that the situations have gotten more outrageous. This has been happening for a while, but now we seem to be falling on some well-used tropes such as short-term amnesia and the FBI agent source that provides Reacher inside information throughout the entire novel. But even having said all of that, I still tore through the novel in 2-3 days and will be first in line to read the next one!

I requested and received a free advanced electronic copy from Random House Publishing Group – Ballantine, Delacorte Press via NetGalley. Thank you!

My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance ebook copy, in exchange for a review.

I have read all of the preceding books in the Jack Reacher series, so I'm quite familiar with the character and his habits.

As other reviewers have mentioned, this book begins with Reacher waking up handcuffed to a table and not having any idea what happened to bring him there. The plot continues at the usual breakneck speed, and I will admit that sometimes I have a little trouble keeping up. And the ending? Like some of the other books, it was rather abrupt, and I didn't actually see it coming.

I will stop here as I don't care to get into spoiler territory. I think Reacher fans will find the book enjoyable.

In Too Deep
A Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child and Andrew Child

Yet another great Jack Reacher novel. I certainly hope this turns into another Reacher TV series.
Jack, as usual, stumbles into a situation that turns into something much larger. As it turns out, there’s many many characters involved with all this, including a female of interest on his side. Jack has to turn to his former military friends to help get him information to help resolve this issue which ends ends up, taking him not only to the place where the situation is taking place, but also to the Bahamas. This novel has many many tosses and turns, and is thoroughly enjoyable all the way through. if you like Jack Reacher you’ll love this book. If you haven’t read one previously, you will find yourself loving it and going back to read all the previous ones. I do appreciate being able to read an advanced copy of this and give my unbiased opinion. Thank you to the publisher, the authors and Netgalley for the privilege.
