The Enemy (Jack Reacher, Bk 8)
Barbllm avatar reviewed on + 241 more book reviews


This novel in the Jack Reacher series finds our hero trying to control a situation: a two-star general has been found dead in a hotel room, presumably from a heart attack but his briefcase and its contents are missing. Then the general's wife turns up dead. Reacher is being set up as the fall guy in a conspiracy. Child's characterizations hit home, with Reacher as both lover (to his girl du jour, Summer) and fighter (as he discovers who set him up and why). I found "Echo Burning" to be a little bland, but this book kept me turning the pages for hours.
