Lee Child. "The Midnight Line" is classic Lee Child/Jack Reacher. Gets you hooked right at the start and continues rapid-fire from start to finish. Typical of the"Reacher" series, it is not flowery but quick, straight-to-the-point Joe Friday ("Just the facts, ma'am") action. As always, I hated to see I was at the end and can't wait for the next book!

Another great Jack Reacher story, one the better ones. Only Jack Reacher could spot a West Point class ring in a pawn shop window and turn it into a morality play. Ultimately really well but also quite sad.

Whether it's as an elite Army MP or a retired drifter, Reacher loves a good puzzle, especially if there's a good story attached to it. And some times, the solving of one puzzle leads to another, and as a matter of personal honor, Reacher steps up to solve that one, too. Another Reacher classic from Lee Child, and that's never a bad thing!

It all starts with Jack Reacher seeing a West Point ring in a pawn shop window, sending Reacher on his next journey. The Midnight Line was an enjoyable read, and hard to put down. Lee Child is always a good choice when looking for a good book.

Another solid, satisfying Jack Reacher novel! The Midnight Line unfolds beautifully, with the stories of multiple characters all piecing together to make the whole plot. This just might be the best Reacher novel yet! It is fast-oaced and hard to put down, which is why i am up after 1 AM finishing it! I 'saw' the novel, unfolding in my mind like a movie as I read.

I have read all twenty one Reacher novels. Mr Child has never let me down. His character Reacher is one physically imposing protagonist. He's a 6' 5" 250 lb. mountain of a man. He's a man with honor, a conscious and a man always tries to right wrongs.he literally owns nothing but the clothes on his back. He is a retired major from the 110th MP squadron, He finds an extremely small woman's army academy ring in a pawn shop in SD and his sense of honor pushes him to find out why it's there. He travels to the vastness of WY. to find the owner of the ring. This is another Reacher story that will not let you down. Just like Reacher.

I received an advanced copy of this book from Random House through NetGalley in exchange for posting a fair review of the novel.

So happy to have a new Jack Reacher book to inhale. It's sort of like Christmas when you jump into one of these. I will not recap the plot, but as regular readers of the series know, there is a formula to these novels. Jack stumbles upon something that ends up in a thriller where he rights all the wrongs in a small town- the bad guys always lose. This iteration had a couple slants that made you think differently about the good guys having to do some bad things to get by. It plays into all the recent press on our nation's opioid epidemic in a timely way -- some people truly need these drugs to get through their days because they are genuinely in horrible pain. The story is rather in-your-face about this and I felt like this was a nice stretch for the author. I read this book in about 5 nights, and I wished I had started it on a Saturday because if so I may have read it in one sitting. Do yourself a favor and read this.

Classic Reacher tale. Doesn't miss a single detail, his background gives him knowledge other's don't have. The character has aged well, he even works with someone in the book! Great read, for long time followers of the series and new readers too.

I have read every book in this series. While I feel the author has never captured the early three, especially the "Killing Floor". This is another solid Reacher novel. It is a BIG improvement over that dark net story line last time that may have been the first "bad" Reacher novel.

With that said it follows the standard Lee Child format of the 3 F's (fight, fornicate, find and repeat) with a dragging middle. The mystery woven into the story was one of his best but the conclusion with Rose really seem to violate and cheapen the "Reacher code". Good book, good twist, but cheap and non-Reacher in the last chapter; skip that one.

Another stellar Jack Reacher novel from the incomparable Lee Child!

I have loved all the books in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child since I discovered him many years ago. Once again this did not disappoint!!

Lee Childs does it again with another fast-paced, read-at-one-sitting, suspense novel. Even more, in this book, Childs probes Reacher's psyche more deeply than before, although Reacher remains at heart the consummate mystery man, traveling through the US and allowing problems to find him. If you or your readers like Lee Childs, you will enjoy this book.

I received a free Kindle copy of The Midnight Line by Lee Child courtesy of Net Galley  and Random House, the publisher. It was with the understanding that I would post a review on Net Galley, Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and my fiction book review blog. I also posted it to my Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google Plus pages.

I requested this book as I have read all of the Jack Reacher novels and wanted to get a head start on the most current one.

This book is a fast read that maintains the readers interest. I found it to be much better than the last couple of Reacher novels indicating that the author is back in sync with his character and themes. What was compelling to me about this book is that it deals with the serious subject of returning veterans with disfiguring injuries and what they have to do to cope with their circumstances after the military cuts them off from drugs that helps them cope. This is a huge concern in our country that is getting very little play and I am glad that Lee Child has brought it more into the light with this book.

I recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of the Jack Reacher novels and who is interested in reading about how some veterans cope with devastating injuries.

Lee Child is back in top form. Really enjoyed the latest, and as always Reacher is the epitome of honor and strength. I absolutely loved the concept as well of beauty and otherwise, it's a terrific thriller and will be another bestseller for sure.

Midnight Line is classic Jack Reacher-best yet! The characters have depth and the plot contains details that keeps the story rolling in the reader's mind like an action movie. This title is a must read for Reacher fans because of Lee Child's stellar writing and plot development.

Very entertaining book. As a Wyoming resident particularly enjoyed the setting and his portrayal of Wyoming culture and Lifestyle. Good Book

(3 1/2). Disclosure: I am a certified, dyed in the wool, loyal, will never see Tom Cruise in one of the movies, Reacher Creature! I look forward to each and every one of these books. That being said, here I my take. The first 200 pages of this book are some of the best work Lee Child has ever done. Reacher is at his fullest, most diagnostic, physical, investigative self. The story hits a short lull and loses some steam for just a bit and then finishes with a flourish. A nice ending, all with a very contemporary tie in. Another really good effort that will keep me coming back for more.

As a reader and supporter of the Jack Reacher series, I find this newest entry on par with its other titles. BECAUSE I know the series, I immediately recognized the typical Reacher formula of stumbling upon something he feels might need investigating. So what seemed slightly contrived and unlikely to me might not be so to the more occasional reader. Still, Reacher is clever, compatible with the other engaging characters, and tough as ever.

There's nothing like a new Jack Reacher book and this doesn't disappoint. Set in various states in Dakota/Wyoming area, Jack decides he wants to track down the owner of a West Point ring he noticed in a pawn shop... a simple premise that evolves into the signature Reacher novel. It's a matter of honor that he wants to find the owner, and as he digs further, finding one answer after another, he (of course) triggers the attention of various criminals who are involved in their own set of issues.
The pacing and dialog is fantastic and my only regret is the book is over before you know it. 5 Stars

Fantastic book. I've been a Reacher fan for years. I like how the books go back and forth between 1st person and 3rd person. This was an excellent novel.
