Book info

• Title The Visitor
• Author Lee Child
• Year 2000
• Genre Thriller

Two female army high-flyers. Both acquainted with Jack Reacher. Both forced to resign from the service. Now they're both dead. Found in their own homes, naked, in a bath full of paint. Apparent victims of an army man. A loner, a smart guy with a score to settle. A ruthless vigilante. A man just like Jack Reacher.

Thoughts

This was an interesting Reacher book because rather than him rocking up in a strange town and dealing with the fallout, he’s hauled in to investigate a series of murders. So it’s almost a more traditional detective story, but hanging on the unique character of Reacher, a loner who doesn’t particularly want to get involved and who is also still wrestling with being a homeowner and the responsibility of having ties to a particular location. I just loved this, it was an absolutely chilling revelation at the end, but we move on, and I can’t wait to read the next one.

Rating: 5 / 5
