Die Trying - Lee Child

Jack Reacher, alone, strolling nowhere. A Chicago street in bright sunshine. A young woman, struggling on crutches. He offers her a steadying arm. And turns to see a handgun aimed at his stomach. Chained in a dark van racing across America, Reacher doesn't know why they've been kidnapped. The woman claims to be FBI. She's certainly tough enough. But at their remote destination, will raw courage be enough to overcome the hopeless



This is a good, run of the mill crime novel. The kind of book you can easily get lost in. Has a good enough plot, the pace is good and you don't really have to think to hard about the story.  Lee Child writes good commercial crime fiction, and this is not an exception.  Its not a one of a kind, something special book. However it does its job well for the type of book it is.

I like these types of novels as they are good to wind down to after a day. They require little thought and you can get lost in the plot.  They are great to read, but you probably won't remember the plot too long after (if you are anything like me a read millions of books).  If you want to read a crime fiction, Lee Child is a good one to pick up. If you want something different from Chick Lit, this also ticks the box.
