Lee and Andrew Child's "The Sentinel".
So far it seems a lot like an ANDREW Child book than a Lee Child Jack Reacher one.
I have been reading Jack Reacher novels since the people at Doggie Doo Run Run were discussing how much they loved these books and many had read all of them up to that point. This was probably about 8 years ago though. I started reading his books soon after that. Started with 61 Hours and I was hooked. 61 Hours - Wikipedia |

FORMER avid reader and fan of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series. Ever since Andrew took over it’s not the same. I waited about 2 weeks to get from the library for Sentinel...I struggled through about 100 pages and gave up, never finished the book. I’m done.....

try Nick Petrie's "Peter Ash" novels, they're pretty good.
I agree about The Sentinel, Jack Reacher's had a good run but it's not quite the same. I did finish the book though. |

I'm with you. Jack Reacher was a great character for the first three or four books, but after that, he wore out quickly. Every town this guy visits has some kind of major conspiracy going on, usually involving a murder or other nefarious situation. Jack has no car, no clothes other than those on his back, and no prospects other than looking for a situation to fix. So he beats up all of the town's bad guys (usually five or six at a time), breaking a few wrists or skulls, and singlehandedly solves the problems. Gets unbelievable quickly.

Awaiting getting it from library. Was disappointed in the movies. Tom Cruise was the worst possible person to play the lead role. Last edited by Stu from NYC; 01-02-2021 at 05:05 PM. |

Andrew is no Lee, that's for sure. I suspect that Lee sketched out the plot of this latest book and Andrew did the writing. Very disappointing.

That is the impression I got too.
