The Midnight Line

Puts Reacher just where we want him.-The New York Times Book Review A gem.-Chicago Tribune Each year Lee Child comes up with another Reacher. Each year I lap it up. Love it . . . Here, there is something subversive as well as page-turning. . . . I don't know another author so skilled at making me turn the page, at putting me in the thick of it all.-The Times Compulsively readable.-Publishers Weekly (starred review) [A] multifaceted novel about dealing with the unthinkable . . . It's automatic: Reacher gets off a bus, and Child lands on the New York Times bestseller list.-Booklist I just read the new Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child. . . . It is as good as they always are. I read every single one.-Malcolm Gladwell The book is very smart . . . [and] suggests something that has not been visible in the series' previous entries: a creeping sadness in Reacher's wanderings that, set here among the vast and empty landscapes of Wyoming, resembles the peculiarly solitary loneliness of the classic American hero. This return to form is also a hint of new ground to be covered.-Kirkus Reviews Child does a stellar job this time by not following his customary formula; his usually stoic hero who rarely displays softness and compassion is hit hard emotionally by this case.'-Library Journal (starred review)
