A trio of reads for the hols
The jury’s still a little out about whether we fancy Jack Reacher as much now Lee Child’s joined up with his brother Andrew. Either way, No Plan B’s still a cracker of a read. Reacher’s on the move – as always – currently in Colorado, where there are two witnesses when a woman throws herself in front of a bus. Clearly suicide, claims the first witness. The other is Reacher, who saw what really happened … a man pushed the woman to her death, before grabbing her bag and walking away. Obviously, Reacher follows him. Obviously it’s not just a random act of violence … rather a sinister, secret conspiracy. And, no real spoiler here, Reacher wins. Penguin
