Flying by the seat of his pants like usual, Reacher is about to show the evildoers they should have had a plan B. Reacher violently beats up one thug every three pages in a far more violent and bloody way than usual. And he sees what actually happened: A man in a gray hoodie and jeans, moving like a shadow, pushed the victim to her death—before swiftly grabbing the dead woman’s purse and strolling away.

Although, so far, the co-written novels in this long-running series haven’t matched up to many of the earlier ones, in No Plan B there are signs that there could be life left in the series yet. This story had too many subplots generating so many characters, it bogged down a rhythm fraught with frustration trying to keep up. This book starts with the bad guys in a meeting, then flips to 3 days prior to the meeting, then moves ahead in time again. An accomplice intervenes, allowing both to escape, as Reacher has an unfortunate encounter with a collapsing fire escape. By the end of the 2010's the anticipation diminished, but I still bought and read/listened to any new release.

In this 27th novel in the series, Reacher’s inimitable style of conflict resolution with action and violence in support of the challenged victim shines on with mystery and intrigue. Sam’s ex-wife Hannah Hampton is able to shed further light on the unlikely coincidences, and soon both embark on a road-trip to Winson to further investigate the mystery behind these injustices. In the first two books Andrew penned, you could tell he was experimenting with his version and vision for Reacher.

The safety aspect was welcome but the reason the hub had been chosen for this meeting was its seclusion. I'd have much preferred a much slower and more considered approach to the entire story, focussing, as in the past, on the arrival, the fatal character flaws of the antagonists, a more subtle reveal of the real intentions behind the Minerva Corporation and just generally a story more redolent of how a drifter like Reacher would have approached it. From vastly different parts of the country there are forces at work, drawing a bunch of seemingly unrelated people together.Suddenly he departs from Los Angeles, intent on making a long journey that will necessitate many Greyhound buses. The details, of course, I can't reveal, except to say there's never a dull moment; all points converge at the end, and readers learn what happens to all the people who started off as strangers but end up as, well, you'll have to read it for yourself to find that out. The sale of customised goods or perishable goods, sealed audio or video recordings, or software, which has been opened. They are all the same, although this one attempts to go all fancy by following multiple characters, not just Reacher. Reacher finds himself involved in an incident that spans across the US and gets him into trouble with a new collection of corrupt officials.

It did not follow the usual MO for Reacher's travails and was too choppy from one scene to another, one character to another. His books consistently achieve the number-one slot on bestseller lists around the world and have sold over one hundred million copies.As with any long-running series like this, the plot scenario never varies too far from what has always worked well. While Reacher and another Colorado local try to peel things back, which include a trip to Mississippi, a young boy has begun a trek across the country to flee a troubled home life. Every loyal reader of this series knows nobody messes with Jack Reacher - he can take down half a dozen very big, very angry men in the blink of an eye. And then the local police disregarded Reacher's witness statement in favor of another "highly respected" person who saw Angela's "suicide. Lee spends his spare time reading, listening to music, and watching the Yankees, Aston Villa, or Marseilles soccer.
