Interpretation Conducive To Books The Affair (Jack Reacher #16)

March 1997. A woman has her throat cut behind a bar in Carter Crossing, Mississippi. Just down the road is a big army base. Is the murderer a local guy - or is he a soldier? Jack Reacher, still a major in the military police, is sent in undercover. The county sheriff is a former US Marine - and a stunningly beautiful woman. Her investigation is going nowhere. Is the Pentagon stonewalling her? Or doesn't she really want to find the killer? The adrenaline-pumping, high-voltage action in The Affair is set just six months before the opening of Killing Floor, and it marks a turning point in Reacher's career. If he does what the army wants, will he be able to live with himself? And if he doesn't, will the army be able to live with him? Is this his last case in uniform?

Comment On Out Of Books The Affair (Jack Reacher #16)

Perfect!Another amazing Reacher story.We go back in time to 1997 - to the beginning of the end of Reacher's military career.He has to unofficially find a killer in a little Military Base Town in Mississippi and while doing that he's having an adorable affair with the Police Chief! All very exciting and mysterious and typical Reacher-ish!I LOVED IT!

I'm a big fan of the Jack Reacher series. This is a reread for me and I loved every minute of it!

I should give The Affair zero stars just on principle. Lee Child apparently agrees with the casting of that little dickhead Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher. Really? YGBSM!! There is no freaking way that Cruise can remotely approach the kick-ass power of Reacher in a fight with a group of bad guys. Here is one fight in the book that would be epic fail if little Tommy C tries to fill the part:(view spoiler)[ Basic rule of thumb with six guys: you have to be quick. You cant spend more than the bare

I admire the fact that Lee Child is comfortable writing books set in different parts of Reacher's life. In his latest, he dials time back to Reacher's last case as an MP and walks us through the events that, ultimately, pointed Reacher towards the nomadic life that he embraces after leaving the military. Child drops a few bits that connect to the book that launched the series, "Killing Floor," and each elicited a little "yippee" of delight when I came across it. It's a trick, for sure, but Child

Mostly solving a mystery. Its fun because its Reacher.STORY BRIEF:Books 1 to 15 in the Jack Reacher series flow in chronological order. All of them are set after Reacher left the army in March 1997 except for Book 8 (The Enemy) and this one. This book 16 goes back in time and is set in March 1997. It describes Reachers last investigation as an MP before he left the army.A woman is murdered in a small town in Mississippi. The Kellum army base is nearby. They army is hoping that the murderer is

I've been a Jack Reacher fan for years and usually enjoy Child's novels, always finding some basic humanity in the themes of the lone MP against great odds and a corrupt system.While this novel is well-crafted and has a complex plot narrated in Child's terse style, I did not care for Jack Reacher in this story. Too much unwarranted killing and too little compassion make the main character seem as malevolent as the bad guys he is after.This version is an audio book narrated by Dick Hill, another

As a long time fan I loved the context and idea of this book. Having some of the back story, the events that have been hinted at that lead to Reacher sticking his thumb out and setting off wandering around America But there things bugged the hell out of me1. How many times do we need to hear that it's 1997; do we really need the constant reminder that this is set prior to 9/11?!2. Mindless killing. Up until recent books Reacher has killed, but pretty much only in self defense. He certainly
