Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Reacher's anonymity in Florida is shattered by an investigator who's come looking for him. But hours after his arrival, the stranger is murdered. Retracing the PI's trail back to New York, Reacher's compelled to find out who was looking for him and why. He never expected the reasons to be so personal-and twisted.
Amazon.com Review:
Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is lying low in Key West, digging up swimming pools by hand. He is not at all pleased when a private detective starts asking questions about him. But when the detective, Costello, turns up dead with his fingertips sliced off, Reacher realizes it is time to move on.
As in Lee Child's two previous thrillers, Die Trying and Killing Floor, Reacher is soon up to his neck in lethal trouble, this time involving a vicious Wall Street manipulator, a mysterious woman (of course), and the livelihood of a whole community. Even the fate of soldiers missing in action in Vietnam is stirred into the brew.
But this is not a book by one of the new breed of U.S. thriller writers. Child prides himself on his ability, as an Englishman, to write American thrillers that are utterly convincing in milieu and toughness of action, without a trace of English sensibility. Tripwire is no exception. Every bit as lean and compulsive as its predecessors, it also builds on the freshest aspect of those books: Reacher may be a tough, epic hero, but he always remains human and vulnerable. --Barry Forshaw

After having read the very first two novels I was extremely keen to read Tripwire.
I wasn't disappointed, but did notice a BIG difference between this and the very first two novels. This book was more like a bedtime story, easier to read when you are tired, kind of novel.
Not so intense and Reacher isn't really the main character in this novel.
I'm looking forward to seeing if the subsequent one is more like the first.

Not only is Reacher the toughest guy in American fiction, Child has created another detestable evil character in Hobie. Hook is one of Child's most creative devils. The story easily jumps from the laid back Keys to the mean streets of NYC. Definitely one of the better of the Reacher series, a hard statement to write.

In, Tripwire, a tale of intrigue complicated by a military cover-up, Lee Child pulls the reader along with enough suspense to keep the pages turning, and the trip is enjoyable. However, the book drags in a few places, which could be fixed by tighter writing. Additionally, the hero, Jack Reacher, steps out of character now and then, as do some of the other characters, but all in all, it's a good read.

As far as thrillers go this was very good. The characters were deep and enthralling, keeping your interest all the way through. There was enough suspense to keep you turning the pages, and plenty of action. If you enjoy Lee Child`s Jack Reacher books then this will please you. I`m a series fan and enjoy Child and Michael Connelly books immensely, if you like that kind of thriller read the `Soft Target` books by Conrad Jones. They are unputdownable!! Back to the review, ten out of ten.

I just started this book and it has hold on me already. I like Lee Child's books because they are very absorbing and unpredictable. (What's the use of reading a book if you can figure it out yourself from the beginning/)
