Typically blunt and <b>energetic</b>...<b>precisely</b> judged.

Lee Child's Reacher series has hit Book No. 20 with a resounding peal of<b> wisecracking glee</b> ("Are you going to be a problem?" "I'm already a problem. The question is, what are you going to do about it?"). Everything about it...is as <b>strong</b> as ever....Make Me is a<b> hot</b> one.
- Janet Maslin, New York Times
<b>Breathless</b> and<b> bloody.</b>..You can't help lapping it up.
Evening Standard
The fights are convincing and the dialogue is as<b> brilliant </b>as always.
Literary Review
I am very much <b>in love</b> with Jack Reacher - as a man and a <b>role model</b>. If I can't <b>shag </b>him, I want to be him.
- Lucy Mangan, Stylist
The Reacher books are <b>Westerns</b>: they are about the man of <b>honor </b>coming to the <b>lawless</b> frontier town in order to impose a<b> rough</b> sort of justice...[Reacher]’s leading us back into the wilderness, with the reassurance that our <b>psychopaths</b> are bigger and <b>stronger</b> than the bad guys’ psychopaths. I’ve read all twenty of Lee Child’s novels. Maybe there’s something wrong with me. But I can’t wait for the twenty-first.
- Malcolm Gladwell, New Yorker
Does a fine job of <b>ratcheting </b>up the<b> tension</b>...The <b>relentlessly entertaining</b> Reacher format shows no sign of wearing out its welcome just yet.
Mail on Sunday
As well as romance, there's as usual plenty of <b>fast-paced, punchy</b> action and deceptively deft plotting.
Sunday Mirror
I was unable to put thebook down...a <b>brilliantly crafted</b> mystery and one of Child's best.
Huffington Post
"Child's best for some time...with detective-story and romcom elements (even sly humour) on top of the psychological duels and set-piece violence." (Sunday Times)
Jack Reacher has no place to go, and all the time in the world to get there.
A remote railroad stop on the prairie with the curious name of Mother's Rest seems perfect for an aimless one-day stopover. He expects to find a lonely pioneer tombstone in a sea of nearly-ripe wheat.
Instead there is a woman waiting for a missing colleague, a cryptic note about two hundred deaths, and a small town full of silent, watchful people.
Reacher's one-day stopover turns into an open-ended quest leading to the most hidden reaches of the internet, and right into the nightmare heart of darkness.

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, Make Me is 20th in the series.
