firecat: red panda looking happy (Default)
Bad Luck and Trouble (Jack Reacher Series, #11) Bad Luck and Trouble by Lee Child


My friend [personal profile] piglet/[livejournal.com profile] porcinea said that the Jack Reacher series is "like a feminist James Bond" and that's a pretty good description, although Bond is more upscale and camp, based on this novel. This is the first of the Reacher series I've read, and I'll be reading more. I liked this especially because it emphasized a team approach to solving a crime, rather than being all about the Lone Hero(tm), and because most of the characters are smart and competent (I dislike thrillers where the plot is driven by stupidity), and because Child takes a geeky delight in details, and the details actually make sense.
