Tripwire (Jack Reacher, No. 3)

In, Tripwire, a tale of intrigue complicated by a military cover-up, Lee Child pulls the reader along with enough suspense to keep the pages turning, and the trip is enjoyable. However, the book drags in a few places, which could be fixed by tighter writing. Additionally, the hero, Jack Reacher, steps out of character now and then, as do some of the other characters, but all in all, it's a good read.

Bob Avey, author of The Detective Elliot series

As far as thrillers go this was very good. The characters were deep and enthralling, keeping your interest all the way through. There was enough suspense to keep you turning the pages, and plenty of action. If you enjoy Lee Child`s Jack Reacher books then this will please you. I`m a series fan and enjoy Child and Michael Connelly books immensely, if you like that kind of thriller read the `Soft Target` books by Conrad Jones. They are unputdownable!! Back to the review, ten out of ten.

I just started this book and it has hold on me already. I like Lee Child's books because they are very absorbing and unpredictable. (What's the use of reading a book if you can figure it out yourself from the beginning/)

Have no problem with the book(s), however am somewhat dissatisfied with winding up with two copies of this title. Admittedly, I somehow selected 2 rather than 1 of "Tripwire", but noticed the mistake and changed it back to 1. However I did not notice it had not been changed to 1 at checkout. The result was getting two copies, and then being informed that since it was my error I would have to pay the postage to return the book which I decided not to do because the postage was half the price of the book.

This is a wonderful book of suspense! it's cool how the author brings the past full circle! I recommend this book to anyone who loves suspense and mysteries.
