After reading the two most recent Jack Reacher novels, "61 Hours" and "Worth Dying For," at the starting of this year, I went back to read one of Lee Child's earlier novels that I hadn't read yet. (I came into the series in the middle, and am moderately working the earlier books into my reading list) "Tripwire" by Lee Child is the third in the series about former Army Mp, turned drifter, Jack Reacher, and it's surely a fun and suspenseful ride.
The book begins with Reacher in Key West, but speedily moves North with much of the story taking place in New York. This is an earlier Reacher tale, published in 1999, so it is always sort of funny reading things about New York that reference the World Trade Centers, but also that, the New York setting is fitting for the adventure that follows, and an adventure it is. The book is full of performance as Reacher investigates a missing in performance Vietnam helicopter pilot and determined events that are linked to that disappearance years ago.

The villain is cruel and tough and presents a formidable adversary for the hero Reacher, and the characters designed to aid the plot along work very well. For me, the whole story worked, and I enjoyed reading it all the way from cover to cover. The twist at the end came as a surprise, and I hadn't figured that coming, but it worked well to conclude the story. There were a combine places that could have been explained a bit more, such as some of the villain's connections, and what happened to the other victims that were being manipulated by the villains. A combine characters were woven into the story quite well, but then we never got to see what happened to them at the conclusion. There are also a few areas that will most likely be picked up in the next book, and I'm finding transmit to reading it to see where Child takes distinct characters and situations to get Reacher to where I know he is going since I've read some of the later books.
I find the Jack Reacher series by Child to be fun, entertaining, thrillers. They are quick reads with a cool tough guy performance hero. You don't want to analyze them too deep, just enjoy the ride, and I did enjoy this one, and look transmit to reading the next ones in the series that I have yet to read.
