Past Tense by Lee Child


Jack Reacher is doing genealogical research in his head butting manner.   A search for his paternal past leads him to typical Reacher action.

Reacher is a firm believer in preemptive retaliation.   Finding himself in a small town, Jack proceeds to tilt at windmills and place himself clearly in the bull’s eye of both the Boston mob and regional bullies.  

In addition to the normal Reacher behavior, is a side story that reads simultaneously with the Reacher story.   It is almost like two stories which one can assume will connect at some point but remember what assumptions lead to.

Another action winner with the separate story lines being the main difference from past Reacher books.


I enjoyed it and recommend it. 

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
