The Affair

Just when you thought it couldn’t possibly get any better, Lee Child pulls Jack Reacher out of another hole and, bang, he produces nothing short of a thriller masterpiece… Here, we get what we’ve been waiting for… the story of how Reacher became Reacher – Henry Sutton * Daily Mirror *Jack Reacher has long since earned his prominent place in the pantheon of cool, smart-talking American heroes… Shakes up the status quo by delivering the Reacher creation myth… stealthily funny… this book is really about the man himself – Janet Maslin * The New York Times *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 *Child on top of his game. It could well be his best book yet… The paradox of Reacher is that he is both a great big grizzly bear of a fighter… and a thinker, both Schwarzenegger and Socrates. Make love and war is his credo * Independent *Just finished The Affair. As always, hero Reacher grabs me on page one and never lets go. Right now Lee Child is my No1 thriller writer – Ken Follett (on Twitter)I wouldn’t be scared with Jack Reacher by my side… Reacher is the kind of guy you want in your corner when things get nasty. He’s a maverick who plays by his own rules as he drifts from town to town… And yes, there are so many guns and so much blood and antler-locking that it’s a little bit embarrassing to admit to liking the books. But I’m not the only woman I know who does * L. A. Times *Lee Child is on brilliant form in The Affair… for sheer page-turning ability it’s unbeatable * Evening Standard *Plenty of action… much more of a whodunit than anything Lee Child has previously written… The gripping plot and breathtaking violence ensure it is difficult to put down * Evening Standard *
