About this ebook
‘If the final pages of this story don’t make your heart race, then you might want to make sure your heart is still working.’ KARIN SLAUGHTER
'If there is a more iconic character in modern fiction than Jack Reacher, I'd like to meet them.' DAILY MIRROR
For Jack Reacher, being invisible has become a habit.
He spends his days digging swimming pools by hand and his nights as the bouncer in a local strip club in the Florida Keys.
He doesn't want to be found.
But someone has sent a private detective to seek him out. Then Reacher finds the guy beaten to death with his fingertips sliced off. It's time to head north and work out who is trying to find him and why.

'Lee Child continues his meteoric rise and mastery of suspense with Tripwire. It's a tightly-drawn and swift thriller that gives new meaning to what a page-turner should be.' MICHAEL CONNELLY
'A slickly effective thriller which confirms Child's ability to keep the reader guessing - and sweating.' THE TIMES
Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, Tripwire is 3rd in the series.
And be sure not to miss Reacher's newest adventure, no.29, In Too Deep! **OUT NOW**

The book is a great story and an easy read but the trouble is that all of the actuall story telling takes place in the dialogue between characters. it's kind of makes everything else meaningless. You could literally read only the bits in quotation marks and this book would be more enjoyable than reading the whole thing.

Weakness: the "twists" are so obvious, and so frequently signposted that each time there's a clue you find yourself thinking "I know what's going to happen, just get on with it!" Strength: the lead character it very likeable, and after what I thought was a fairly forgettable story, I want to read the next episode.

Some dislike this one, personally I could visualise every second of it. Perfect world creation.
