Review: The Affair

The Affair by Lee Child

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Another good Reacher story from Lee Child (and I still do not think Tom Cruise can possibly make a good Reacher!). This story goes back to the end of Reacher's army career and follows him through a Military Police investigation that ultimately ends his career in the Army setting him on the footloose and fancy free wandering life that flows through all the other Reacher books.

You can expect the usual suspense, action, thriller and a small love (or is just lust) interest that make up all the Reacher books.

Described by the Daily Mirror as a "thriller masterpice"; but it's The Telegraph's review that sums up "The Affair":

"With its revelations and its bonk-fest, it's an unabashed fan-pleaser, but also a timely, reassuring wallow in the undiluted essence of Reacher." (Telegraph )
