Better Off Dead (Jack Reacher, #26)Better Off Dead by Lee Child
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Better Off Dead Is Book #26 in the Jack Reacher action adventure series.

This one is co-written with Lee Child’s brother Andrew. So it isn’t surprising to note that there are slight differences to Jack and the story arc that fans have come to expect.

Jack is still there, but he is just not quite the Jack that we all have come to love and support. This time Jack is heading to the west coast of America when his hitch-hiking leaves him short of his destination. He spots a crashed jeep and goes to rescue the driver, and so the adventure begins.

Michaela Fenton is searching for her brother; she fears that he is mixed up with a drug dealer and all round thug. Reacher is intrigued enough to help out and there is a bit of interest in that the sleepy town is right on the border with Mexico.

This is still a moderate read which kept me interested, but it wasn’t as memorable as some of the previous stories.

Reacher never backs down from a problem. And he’s about to find a big one, on a deserted Arizona road, where a Jeep has crashed into the only tree for miles around. Under the merciless desert sun, nothing is as it seems. Minutes later Reacher is heading into the nearby border town, a backwater that has seen better days. Next to him is Michaela Fenton, an army veteran turned FBI agent, who is trying to find her twin brother. He might have got mixed up with some dangerous people. And Reacher might just need to pay them a visit. Their leader has burrowed his influence deep into the town. Just to get in and meet the mysterious Dendoncker, Reacher is going to have to achieve the impossible. To get answers will be even harder. There are people in this hostile, empty place who would rather die than reveal their secrets. But then, if Reacher is coming after you, you might be better off dead.
