Series Sunday is a bookish meme hosted by Literary Marie. I encourage all of my fellow book bloggers and bookhearts to play along.
- Read an installment of a series.
- Share your review/recommendation below.
- Include the title, author and series name.
My Series Sunday pick is In Too Deep, the 29th book in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child and Andrew Child. Jack Reacher wakes up alone, in the dark, handcuffed to a makeshift bed. The little possessions he has are gone. He's slightly injured. He has no memory of getting there. The last thing he remembers is hitching a ride, getting run off the road and the driver was killed. The people who attacked have no idea who Reacher really is or how difficult it will be to make him talk.
"You're the perfect patsy." ~ 29%
The title gave it away! I love a clever title and relish the moment when it becomes clear. But don't let the title be a spoiler. Ugh! It totally took away from the thrill, the suspense, the climax and the unsurprising ending. I was already unenthusiastic about the story from the beginning because the beloved character of Jack Reacher has become painfully predictable. I can clock his movements before he can even blink now. It is getting so routine that I can practically outline the next book. I just need to go back to reading the older Reacher books because this new stuff is flat.
Happy Belated Pub Day, Lee Child and Andrew Child! In Too Deep is now available.
