After finishing Relic on September 6, I picked up A Wanted Man by Lee Child. I started this on September 7 (happy birthday to my brother) and finished it on September 16.
Oh, Lee Child, you do know how to spin an addicting and entertaining book. This is another in the Jack Reacher series from Lee Child, and like the others, does not disappoint.
Also like the others, we meet Jack Reacher in the middle of nowhere hitching a ride. This ride, like some of the others, begins a hellish, nightmarish, and twisty few days for Reacher and others.
There was a murder in a small town, and the FBI have been called in (among others) to figure out what happened. Reacher gets picked up on the highway and becomes wrapped up in the situation.
As always, Reacher's keen eye and cop's mentality help him figure things out. Also as usual, his military experience and contacts help him out, as does his mental and physical toughness.
There were some twists and turns I didn't anticipate, including the fact that this is one of the few novels (spoiler alert) in which Reacher doesn't get the girl.
These are entertaining books, quick reads, and I always like them. If you need some mind candy (what I call quick, easy, entertaining books), you can give this series a try. Unlike some other series books, I don't think it is super important to read these in order.
