[audiobook] Reacher is meandering around the northwest when he gets an odd signal in the form of a deposit to his bank account of $1030. As a former MP, he realizes this could be only a bank error, unlikely, or a ten-code, i.e. 10-30, for officer needs assistance. (Interestingly, I looked up the official ten-code list and 10-30 means unnecessary use of radio; the official code for officer needs assistance is 10-78.

As a former MP, he realizes this could be only a bank error, unlikely, or a ten-code, i.e. 10-30, for officer needs assistance. (Interestingly, I looked up the official ten-code list and 10-30 means unnecessary use of radio; the official code for officer needs assistance is 10-78. My favorite is 10-45* What Child’s intent is here is unclear.)

A member of their former special investigations unit has been killed and Francis Nagley, a member of the unit, feels it’s their duty to get the people who did it to one of their own. Inevitably, they are being stalked by a group of bad guys. So it’s not the three musketeers, but rather four (so who’s D’Artagnan?) Prepare to suspend rational thought as Reacher hears the click of a slide twenty feet behind him, reacts instantly in precisely the proper manner, and they slay the bad guy sent by the bad guys. Predictable as that is, Childs really holds our interest as the plots unfold. I particularly liked all the math stuff clues.

The big question about Reacher that I have is, considering he rarely buys shirts, gets a haircut, or whatever, and never seems to visit a laundromat, how does he keep his underwear clean and yet attract all these women?

In the end, unfortunately, the plot devolves into the typical revenge plot where two men and two women, all middle-aged (the middle-aged fantasy) believe seeking revenge for their former colleagues is more important than involving the authorities in preventing a possible mass murder.

*10-45 means “animal carcass at...” which gives you an idea of the archaic nature of ten codes. They are being phased out in most states, particularly since localities often add their own codes or change meanings which can often lead to misunderstandings between agencies. For example in Atlanta, it’s “Code 10.” In other places, it’s 10-200. In an example ripe for confusion,m the City of Poughkeepsie is 10-23, the Town of Poughkeepsie is 10-13, and the NY State Police use 10-31. Personally I prefer, “Get your ass over here.” The worst is the Broome County Sheriff’s Department which uses 10-10 for “Out of Service on radio (duh) and “Signal 10” for “Officer Needs Assistance. Talk about ripe for misunderstanding! BTW, in Nassau County 10-96 means “Respond in old clothes.”

Bad Luck and Trouble Book Review
Bad Luck and Trouble by Lee Child was the novel I read. This book is the 11th book, the newest one, in a series about a man named Jack Reacher. Some of the other books in this series are The Enemy, The Hard Way, and One Shot. Lee Child has also written many short stories including “Bloodlines”, “The Chopin Manuscript”, and “Death do us Part”. The newest piece of literature written by Lee Child is Bad Luck and Trouble, the novel I read. Jack Reacher is the main character, followed by seven of his army friends. The book begins with one of Reacher’s buddies getting pushed out of a helicopter. He falls three thousand feet to his death. Reacher and three buddies of his from the army band together in search of the killer or killers, but also in search of the other three buddies who didn’t respond. Reacher and his friends work together by the motto, “No one messes with the Special Investigators.” Reacher and his seven army buddies were the Special Investigators.
There are many interesting things about Bad Luck and Trouble. Lee Child doesn’t use long, complicated sentences. He uses short, to the point sentences that are descriptive and meaningful. Every sentence in this novel is important. Each sentence also uses great descriptive adjectives to tell you about every place, person, and thing in the novel. The plot in the story is very lively and vigorous, making you turn the page. Each chapter ends with a cliff hanger and picks up a couple chapters later. Putting this book down is impossible.
I think Lee Child did an amazing job writing this book. There is not one weakness in this novel that I can find. The book is well written, descriptive, meaningful, exhilarating, and very enjoyable to read. Lee Child is a great author and I hope he carries on the series.
Overall, Lee Child did an outstanding job in this novel. I don’t think there was one mistake between the front and back cover. This novel was extremely enjoyable to read. Anyone who loves mysteries and thrillers that are invigorating, exciting, and fast-paced would enjoy this novel.

Shelves: abandoned

Good late night change of pace after reading Austen's archaic prose earlier in evening. According to the massive ad campaign for his newest book, Child seems to be the latest boss of the hard-boiled crime scene, complete with damaged, loner anti-hero hero as protag. Only 30 pgs into it, but so far, so good. The prose is pretty blunt and spare -- more Hammett than Chandler -- but effective.

I stopped reading a few weeks ago,after a 100+ pgs, and haven't felt compelled to return to it. Characters s...more

Dear god, the sentences get shorter and shorter as this series goes on, and Reacher gets more and more tremendous!! I love the way he tells us so much with so little to go on, and the way that he's always one step ahead - and the reader loves it! (well, I do) I like the author's style but I can imagine it can annoy - but I fell in love with Reacher when he was younger and sassier (weren't we all) and have remained faithful eevr since.

The book starts well and ends extremely abruptly yet somewhat sloppily and boringly.

The build-up is fantastic despite some logical holes. Characters are introduced in an engaging manner and their interactions with each other are light-hearted and smart. The build-up is relentless in the first half as the main mystery is intricately woven with evenly paced surprising events. The story decoy through Vegas is particularly ingenious and even the actual suspense turns out to be interesting despite al...more

You don't mess with the special investigators...and you sure as hell don't step on Reacher's toothbrush.

This is Lee Child's 11th Reacher thriller. I've read them all, and I believe it is fair to say, that no other writer has captivated this reader like Mr. Child. What is it about Reacher? In a class by himself? Of course. There're are lots of hard-as-nails protagonists out there, from Mike Hammer to Travis McGee to Harry Bosch, but for me, Jack Reacher is not only the toughest, but also my favorite.

The New York Times claims that Lee Child is "The best thriller writer of the moment." I think this is true, but an understatement. Who is a better thriller writer than Child?

As for Bad Luck and Trouble, I particularly liked knowing a bit more about his old elite MP military unit. Instead of utilizing a prequel, the time frame is the present. Someone has been killing off members of his old unit. After the army, they all had gone on to new careers.

As a writer myself, I wondered if the men and women of his elite unit had been created in the past, or came phoenix-like out of the ashes of Lee Child's imagination as he wrote the book? Doesn't really matter though, does it? Child certainly makes it seem like the eight members of the unit already existed long before Killing Floor, which was Child's first Reacher novel, and where this reader feels the new Reacher reader should start. See my review of Killing Floor on Amazon.

His book "The Enemy," although chronologically the first, was about when he was a major in the army. It brought in his brother and his mother, but was maybe my least favorite. Why is it my least favorite? It wasn't the Reacher we now know and love, but did offer insight into how he got that way.

In "Bad Luck" he had left behind the army years ago, had transitioned from Major Jack Reacher to the man we now know, but the guys and girls in his unit got to see the man not as he used to be, their commander, a major in the army, but the man whose possessions now amounted to a folding toothbrush, a passport, the clothes on his back, and a ATM card. While the rest of the gang had gone on to various degrees of fame, fortune and failure, Reacher had remained the same. A loner, a drifter, truly leaving do trail. I don't know why I'm always surprised when he puts the 9mm up to the guy's head and pulls the trigger, or how he hears the unmistakable sound of a magazine clicking home. This one was high on mystery, high on thrills and suspense. Highly recommended.(less)

If you are addicted to Lee Child's writing, then you're going to want to read this book. I had a few problems with the plot. . . some of it was difficult to me to follow, and seemed totally far-fetched, but I could probably say that about most of Lee Child's plots and writing, and I love his books anyway!

At a few points in this book I felt like the protagonist, Jack Reacher, was a little out of character, or at least I hadn't noticed these characteristics about him before. For example, at one po...more

Eleventh in the Jack Reacher suspense series. This one takes place in L.A.

My Take
Oh. This is such a sad one. So many losses.

I found it interesting that Child is allowing Jack to age and start to question what he's doing. This makes it so real. I've been wondering if/when Jack might start to wonder what's happening in and with his life and I love that Child is taking it so slow.

It's funny, too, how out of touch he is with modern technology, especially his use of a cell phone. Not knowing about fl...more

This one might be the worst of the series.

There were a lot of huge plot holes, and I had a hard time following why the protagonist would deliberately do so many incredibly stupid things, that are (in theory at least) out of character for him.

The plot "twists" were so obvious that I was literally rolling my eyes and waiting 50+ pages for them to finally come around. In one particular case, it was nearly the length of the entire novel.

Usually in Reacher novels, the pacing is such that you get a...more

I have very eclectic taste in books. Some might think the Reacher books by Lee Child are more suited to a male audience, but, hey, this is the era of the kickass girl.

The beginning was promising. Characters unfolded into the story as humans perceiving the world, justifying themselves, rather than dumb mechanisms executing commands sent by the author. That kept me reading and neglecting small hiccups here and there and bloated text. As a side note, the book would greatly benefit if it were, say, 25-30 percents shorter. The excessive details and repetitions (I liked "From the big green machine to this") were absolutely appropriate but some passages and even who...more

Jack Reacher, ex military policeman, lives off the grid. He has no cell phone, no address, and no belongings outside of his folding toothbrush. He's happy in his solitude until he receives a coded message from an old military comrade, Frances Neagley. She took a lot ouf trouble to track him down, using his bank account to send a cry for help.

When Jack reaches Los Angeles, he tracks Neagley to a Denny's restaurant. She's waiting for him as she knew he would track her there. She imparts some very disturbing news, one of their former investigators in their unit is dead. It was not a pretty death, and as an autopsy later confirmed, he had been tortured, starved and beaten prior to being thrown alive out of a helicopter.

When Neagley and Reacher try to contact the remaining members of their former special investigators unit, the worry latches up a notch, with each unanswered phone call. None of their old unit is answering, where are they? Are they all missing? Or are they all dead?

When O'Donnell and then Dixon show up in Los Angeles, they unite with Neagley and Reacher. With the discovery of another body, and no contact with the remaining team, they realize that someone is after their team, and doing a pretty good job of it.

As the team delves deeper and deeper into the events leading up to their friends demises, they realize that what they have discovered points to a major threat to nation security, with the possibility of thousands of deaths.

The team races to save the country and two more are now gone. Will they hand the problem over to the FBI and Homeland Security or will they decide the lives of two more of their own are worth more? With time quickly running out will they be able to save their friends or will they lose them and more?

This is a great stand alone book. I love the pace, the action starts at the beginning and continues to grow as the book moves quickly along. The tension gets tighter and tighter, the characters more nervous and unsure of themselves. The scenes are very well written, very descriptive and colorful. The characters, even the bad guys, are 3 dimensional and believable. What makes this book even more of a heart pounder is the believability of what is happening and what could potentially happen. An awesome read!(less)
