THE PERSUADER (Jack Reacher book 7) by Lee Child


Unfinished business takes Jack Reacher back to what he was always meant to do. Ten years should have toughened him up. But one day is all it takes to bring back old memories, open up old wounds, wake up old feelings, rebuild old alliances. Now he’s helping the Feds solve a crime involving drugs and kidnapping. This revealed Jack Reacher’s vengeance against Quinn, the man he thought was dead a long time ago.



I saw the movie Jack Reacher a year ago and was astounded by the sheer audacity of Jack Reacher, fighting crimes, shooting bad guys and consequently fearing for his life. This book, however, in my opinion is better. From the first chapter alone, I knew I was already persuaded. With this book, I came to love the way Lee Child makes every novel an absolute page-turner. He certainly makes sure his action scenes are worth anticipating, the plots worth contemplating and the next book worth waiting for.



This may have been the 7th book in the Jack Reacher series, but Lee Child still has not lost his touch. The Persuader certainly doesn’t disappoint.
