Reacher, who at the time is still in the army, must investigate a series of murders that will take him all over the world, this time accompanied by Lieutenant Summer, a very determined woman who will give Reacher fundamental support. It was nice seeing Reacher and his brother interact, but it is clearly evident Reacher isn't all warm and fuzzy.

Known for his hold-your-breath action scenes, Child proves equally adept at portraying how a criminal investigation uses the smallest of building blocks (a yogurt container) to construct a compelling circumstantial case. Soldier Jack Reacher tries to uncover a complex conspiracy that emerges after the collapse of the Berlin Wall.Before accepting his new command, he tracks down the corrupt Willard and executes him in his own house, planting drugs on the body to hide his involvement. Make me laugh… "The Reacher brothers' need for caffeine makes heroin addiction look like an amusing little take-it-or-leave-it sideline. And it even pains me more to reveal that it was the Tom Cruise movie that motivated me to start reading the series!

I do wonder if Reacher makes the decision he does at the end because of people like Willard and others like him in the army. By signing up I consent to you using my details to send me Jack Reacher newsletters from the UK and confirm that I have read Penguin Random House’s Privacy Policy.

There was so much happening that I wished I could turn the pages fast enough because I desperately wanted to find out the truth behind these murders!

Marshall; Marshall killed Carbone and then murdered Brubaker as well before he could use the information. I enjoyed seeing Reacher deal with the bad eggs of the military, dead pan comments and simple but oh so effective cutting comments.

It really gives you a terrific insight into what makes Reacher tick and therefore gives the reader an improved perspective into the character as he is developed in the remainder of the series. Jack Reacher investigates and comes to the conclusion that the woman Kramer was with stole his briefcase. This book is a bit of a departure as it follows Jack Reacher while he is still in the military instead of Reacher, the ex military hobo.The Enemy' is a treat for existing fans, because it's a prequel to the other books, taking Reacher back to his days as a military policeman at the end of the Cold War, revealing key information about why he became the person he is in the later books. I particulary like the ending and the explanation for background we have learned about Reacher in Child's other books.
