• Title No Plan B
• Author Lee Child
• Year 2022
• Genre Thriller

Gerrardsville, Colorado. One tragic event. Two witnesses. Two conflicting accounts. One witness sees a woman throw herself in front of a bus - clearly suicide. The other witness is Jack Reacher. And he sees what really happened - a man in grey hoodie and jeans, swift and silent as a shadow, pushing the victim to her death, before grabbing her bag and sauntering away. Reacher follows the killer, not knowing that this was no random act of violence. It is part of something much bigger...a sinister, secret conspiracy, with powerful people on the take, enmeshed in an elaborate plot that leaves no room for error. If any step is compromised, the threat will have to be quickly and permanently removed.

Thoughts

This one reminded me of the motel people-hunting book because we had Reacher getting caught up in some kind of big mystery (a woman jumps in front of a bus… or does she?) whilst also following an unrelated young character trying to achieve something. Eventually, the two storylines coincide and we find out what’s going on. It was an interesting ending, with Reacher having to fight his way out of a prison - if you’ve ever wanted to see that, now’s the time!
