I just finished reading the latest Jack Reacher book, #26, called “Better Off Dead.” And I think it might be my last Jack Reacher book. This is the second book Lee Child has co-written in conjunction with his brother Andrew.

So, this time I mean it, No Plan B was the last Reacher book (#27) I’m going to buy. I’ve got digital copies of the first two dozen books and I’ll probably go back and read each one as they get adapted for the Amazon Prime TV series.

Hello, my name is Brian and I’m a Reacheraholic.
After watching the first three episodes of season 2 of Amazon’s Reacher a month ago I started jonesing for more Reacher. I though maybe I’d go back and read some of the early novels and I have already read through the whole series several times, so I didn’t really want to do that again. I have already watched Amazon’s season one twice, so not again because it is too soon.
So what’s an addict to do? That’s right, in spite of my protestations listed above I bought a physical copy of Jack Reacher novel #28, The Secret.
Either the writing in this book is getting better or I have just gotten used to the new brother team of authors, but this book was not bad. The plot seemed recycled and mashed up from a couple of earlier books, The Enemy (#8) with its high level Army folks in on the bad side and Night School (#21) for its inter-agency cooperation team. Plus in both of those books they are set in the past when Reacher was still in the Army.
Anyway, I’m now anxiously awaiting late 2024 when Reacher #29 will hit the bookstores…
