This is co-authored by Lee and Andrew Child. It starts with Reacher awakening tied to a table with no memory of what had happened to him and how he got there. He’d been hitchhiking and the car he was in went over the edge of a winding road. The story is about how he got there and why. The antagonists were merciless and only interested in the money they could make selling important and confidential material and murdering each other to increase any individual’s cut. Reacher has broken an arm in the automobile accident and not slowed down at all. He is also teaming up with Knight, a suspended detective from the Phoenix Police who is planning to avenge her father’s murder. The FBI is also part of the package and has the expected love/hate relationship with him. It’s been a while since I’ve read one of Reacher’s adventures, but it won’t be that long again. Thanks to Net Galley and Delacorte for an ARC for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. I have read the first two books in this series and now this one. I have also watched both seasons of Reacher on Prime. The series on Prime is the reason I started reading the books. I enjoy both very much.

I have read literally every Jack Reacher book written, and anxiously await each new release. I am so pleased to see we are back to classic Reacher!!!!! Probably just me, but I felt like he was missing something from the last few books. In Too Deep was a great revival of Reacher’s critical thinking skills and his ability to outmaneuver his opponents as well as other law enforcement agencies. Really enjoyed the book and hope there might be a follow up with him visiting Phoenix,AZ.

IN TOO DEEP is the latest Reacher novel by Andrew Child. Lee Child has his name on the cover, but as is seen in the writing style, is obviously no longer writing the books himself. Reacher comes to and finds himself shackled, unable to move, with no knowledge of where he is or how he ended up this way. Escaping, he Is determined to find out who's behind his injuries and capture. Reacher is informed by a man who appears and states he is there to help him. Reacher is told he was involved in a car accident. Unfortunately, Reacher has lost his memory of the past two hours happening and no way of knowing what the truth is. As he seeks to learn more about the man offering his assistance and his captor, the more questions arise. The story is filled with twist and turns that keep one reading till the end. Reacher light, as most of the books are these days, but still quite enjoyable.

Lee Child and Andrew Child are both excellent writers who know exactly how to pull you into their books and make you want to not stop reading until you finish them. Their characters are very interesting along with the story. It begins with Jack Reacher waking up being restrained with no memory of how he got there nor does he remember who has him in this location. This incredible book will take you on a journey of how Reacher got into this mess and how he gets himself out of it.

This book is so good. I really liked everything about this book. This was the first book I’ve read in this series and plan to read this series in the correct order soon.

Thank you so much to Random House Publishing Group and NetGalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review!

Lee Child has another winner for Jack Reacher in the latest book, In Too Deep! Jack Reacher does not disappoint his readers as he is in trouble beginning with the first chapter! Gripping suspense and plenty of action keeps one reading this book way past bedtime.

I've yet to meet a dull Reacher book, so it's no surprise that the Childs deliver again with a great page-turner. Indeed, the pacing this time was particularly good; I thought halfway through that it was pretty much wrapped up and was wondering what could possibly keep the narrative going for another hundred pages. Of course, plot happened, and I couldn't put it down until I'd finished. I also have a soft spot for Reacher's romantic interests, so I was glad to see him connect with a girlfriend, however temporary. I don't think this is the best of the Reacher books, but it's still very, very good and much recommended.

Reacher fans will not be disappointed! Lee and Andrew Child score again with another action-packed thriller. A case of amnesia, a mild concussion, and a broken wrist do little to slow down our intrepid hero. As usual, he finds a strong woman to team up with and she proves a good match for Reacher. The plot is engaging with lots of twists and turns. Definitely a good read.

Jack Reacher is back in action- or more like inaction - as he comes to consciousness handcuffed to a steel framed bed after being the passenger in a car crash that he cannot remember. And so this fast moving next Reacher adventure leaps into high octane action.

Reacher figures out how to escape the handcuffs, but now the shady dealings of a small Southern town near Birmingham have become highly personal. As usual Reacher’s not leaving until he figures out what is really going on. Turns out what’s happening ladders up to a huge national threat, and Reacher is forced to move in and out of lone ranger mode as he reluctantly calls for help from the FBI.

With multi-nefarious plots underway along with a woman cop on leave seeking her Dad’s murderer who is a part of all this, Reacher has much heavy lifting to do as he struggles to figure out what’s really going on.

Prepare to stay up late in one sitting to devour this awesome latest Reacher vigilante thriller!

Thanks to Random House Pubilshing Group and Netgalley for an advanced reader’s copy.

Another solid offering in the Reacher series. Lots of twists and turns. Enjoyable and a good addition to the series.

In a clever twist on the classic Reacher story, this time our hero suffers an injury that has him fighting literally with only one hand. The plot is complex and even a bit muddy, but, as ever, this is a gratifying read.

Adrenaline filled chaos Reacher wakes up chained to a bed with no idea how he got there. The rest of the book answers that question. Impossible odds are table ante for this series and readers will be glad to play.

This character and these books are just plain fun.

Great addition to the series

This was a good, fast-paced book with one flaw needed to change it from a novella to a novel. Reacher and a suspended police officer have the bad guys literally tied up half way through the book. Then they leave them with the FBI reportedly a half hour away from collecting them. Of course, that falls apart and the book continues. There are two problems with this. First, there are no law enforcement officers that can reach the bad guys sooner? Second, couldn't Reacher and company wait until the FBI was basically pulling in the drive to leave?

But, this was a very good book. There was some fighting, but not the over-the top, jump-the-shark kind that almost had me abandon the series a few books ago. I think I have the addition of Andrew Child as an author to thank for that. The supporting characters were good and the plot interesting. There were lots of dead bodies and more blood than I am fond of, but that is easy to skim over.

All in all this was a solid book and a great addition to the series.

Jack Reacher is back, but this time he starts the story at a disadvantage. He’s been captured, injured, and his short term memory is impaired. The stakes are high and keep climbing as the story advances.

This installment is nicely focused on a group of thieves with a few solid twists. Reacher gets plenty of coffee, pie, and some action as he works to right wrongs and make the bad guys pay. One of my favorite things about this installment is seeing Reacher deal with limitations as he needs to adjust his attack strategy based on his injuries. Of course, in true Reacher style, he refuses to let anything stand in his way.

Once I started reading, I had a hard time putting the book down. I read the bulk of the book in a single day. I really liked both the quality and quantity of the female characters. The bad guys were a nice mix of strategists and thugs. My only complaint is that the ending was a tad abrupt for me, but to be fair, I love an epilogue.

For me, this is a 4.5 star read, rounded up to 5.

Andrew Child has done a fantastic job of taking the reins from his brother Lee and creating new Reacher adventures.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I was so pleased the Jack Reacher series has continued. Although Lee Child is semi-retired, he and his brother Andrew continue to co-author!
I have been a Jack Reacher fan for many years. I have totally loved them okay most of them as there were some that were good and a few that were okay. Disappointed that this wasn’t great - Yes! ‘Good – but . . .. . not the ‘great’ I was expecting!

As a long-time fan of Jack Reacher, I was excited to dive into "In Too Deep," the 29th installment in this iconic series. Lee and Andrew Child have once again delivered a pulse-pounding thriller that reminded me why I keep coming back to Reacher's world. From the moment I started reading, I was hooked by the unusual setup: Reacher waking up handcuffed, injured, and with no memory of how he got there.

The plot follows a familiar formula, with the iconic drifter teaming up with a female partner to unravel a race against time mystery involving FBI and undercover agents and national security. However, the authors keep this well-worn path fresh and exciting, particularly with an unexpected mid-book twist that transforms a good Reacher adventure into an exceptional one.

What sets "In Too Deep" apart is its unexpected mid-book twist. At that point, I thought the book was finished and the mystery solved, but the authors pull off a surprising turn that reinvigorates the story and propels it into a thrilling second half. This narrative sleight of hand upshifts the pacing. What had been standard, almost plodding, suddenly becomes relentless. The second half of the book showcases high-stakes action, a much more intricate plot and clever problem-solving.

I finished "In Too Deep" with a sense of satisfaction and relief. The Child brothers have crafted another winner that left me eagerly anticipating Reacher's next adventure. Whether you're a longtime Reacher enthusiast like me or new to the series, I highly recommend this must-read thriller. It's a powerful reminder of why Jack Reacher remains one of the most compelling characters in contemporary fiction.

A big thank you to Random House and NetGalley for providing an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

Jack Reacher is trapped, how will he get out? Of course he finds a way. He meets up with a disgraced detective trying to find the person who killed her father. Along the way they uncover more crimes. This is another great book in this series!

Welcome back Jack! This is the most exciting Reacher novel in recent years. Going after deadly secrets, spies, interesting colleagues, potentially preventing disaster…this is the Reacher I love.

So shout out to all fans, this is a goodie!

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC.

The plot fits the usual Reacher formula - Reacher is minding his own business when he gets pulled into something dangerous and convoluted. There's (of course) a kick-ass female that's almost as tough as he is, who becomes his sidekick for this adventure. It's all improbable but fun. Reacher is a mortal superman and we have his dead pan delivery and incredible investigative abilities. Perfect escapist entertainment and I enjoyed it all.

Jack Reacher books are always exciting, thought provoking, and full of action and this one is no exception - a solid 4.5! The plot, pacing, and characters were good and kept me entertained and wanting to know what was going to happen. I appreciated the intricacy of the plot and how it finally all came together. I would like see more of Reacher's human side and perhaps evolving a bit to embrace some technology - maybe not carrying it with him but being intune a bit more to way the world is advancing. I can't wait for the next installment. Many thanks to the Authors, publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this great book in advance for my honest review.
