"Jack is back and better than ever"

Fresh Fiction Review

Personal
Lee Child

Reviewed by Shellie Surles
Posted August 24, 2014

Thriller

Jack Reacher is doing as he always does traveling around just living his life when he picks up an Army Times and sees his name in the personals. Knowing it's a bad idea Jack calls the person in the ad anyway and goes with them when they come for him. What they want is for Jack to help stop a sniper that he put in jail years ago, a sniper that is threatening the world leaders. Jack knows something isn't right about all this, if the most powerful intelligence agencies in the world are looking for this guy what can he possibly give to the situation. As the chase begins so does the action and it doesn't stop till the end. Reacher is at it again and better than ever.

All Jack Reacher books can be read as standalones but the series is a great one and Reacher is a great character. He is fast thinking and smarter than the other guy. As a former Military Police officer, I had a hard time with his earlier books in the series and their accuracy, but over the years and books Lee Child has defiantly gotten more accurate. But really the stories are so good that those who know are usually able to get past it and just enjoy reading the actions and antics of Jack Reacher. He is a big strong man who lives as he likes and moves through life in a way most people only wish they could.

PERSONAL is another hit by Lee Child in the Reacher series.

SUMMARY

Jack Reacher returns in the latest fast-moving, action-packed, suspenseful book from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child.

You can leave the army, but the army doesn’t leave you. Not always. Not completely, notes Jack Reacher—and sure enough, the retired military cop is soon pulled back into service. This time, for the State Department and the CIA.

Someone has taken a shot at the president of France in the City of Light. The bullet was American. The distance between the gunman and the target was exceptional. How many snipers can shoot from three-quarters of a mile with total confidence? Very few, but John Kott—an American marksman gone bad—is one of them. And after fifteen years in prison, he’s out, unaccounted for, and likely drawing a bead on a G-8 summit packed with enough world leaders to tempt any assassin.

If anyone can stop Kott, it’s the man who beat him before: Reacher. And though he’d rather work alone, Reacher is teamed with Casey Nice, a rookie analyst who keeps her cool with Zoloft. But they’re facing a rough road, full of ruthless mobsters, Serbian thugs, close calls, double-crosses—and no backup if they’re caught. All the while Reacher can’t stop thinking about the woman he once failed to save. But he won’t let that that happen again. Not this time. Not Nice.

Reacher never gets too close. But now a killer is making it personal.
