In Too Deep: Free eBook Sampler | Lee Child, Andrew Child

Mehso-so

I don‘t know whether the story telling has changed, or whether my tastes have changed, but the latest Jack Reacher novel fell flat. Written by the senior Child and his younger brother, the novel follows the usual formula: Jack challenged by and besting bad guys, accompanied by, in this case, a comely female cop. The crimes are muddy, and although I finished the book, I wondered why.

I‘ve been a Reacher fan, so I‘ll try again, but reluctantly.

As always a good read. I think I'm becoming a bit too well attuned though, guessed the murderer pretty early on.

“Mrs Napier walked slowly to the middle of the terrace, noted the oncoming car, looked round to make sure that she was fully observed, crossed her legs deliberately, and fell heavily on to the red gravel drive.”

Now that‘s a great opening sentence!! 😂

Newest in the Jack Reacher series. I thought it was a good one. The sequence of events was different than the typical sort in the series. The changes were in the same overall vein though. Storyline was good and interesting. I enjoyed it—now just need to wait a year for another one.!

It‘s the last #BookSpin day of 2024! Thank you, Sarah, for running this challenge—I look forward to it every month! My last two spins of the year are: a mystery from my Kindle TBR (I‘d love to use it for the #christmascrimechallenge if I can make it fit a prompt), and one from my library list that I‘ve been meaning to read forever (and it fits a year I need for #192025). Looking forward to squeezing these into my already-full December!

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Enjoy!! I liked The Dean's Watch, although like the other Goudge books I've read it isn't exactly full of action 😂 But she can write such real people - I don't know, her books seem like ones I would find boring and uninteresting, but she completely pulls me in. 1mo
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks I‘ve only read Elizabeth Goudge‘s children‘s books before! This one has been on my list because I‘ve seen glowing reviews, but also because it‘s set in a fictional version of Ely, the English town I lived in as a child. This version of the cover features the Octagon tower of Ely Cathedral, which gives me so much joy!! 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Oh wow, that is amazingly cool! A lot of the book is describing the town, almost as its own character, so being able to match that with real-life experiences would be amazing. I've also read and LOVED The Scent of Water, and read and quite liked The Rosemary Tree.

Do you still live in England??

BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Oooh, now I‘m really looking forward to the town descriptions!! I don‘t still live in England—I just wish I did! My dad was a civilian contractor for the USAF at the time and we were there for 6 years, but moved back to California when I was 9 (which is where I ended up). I‘ve been back to Ely several times to visit and dream of moving back someday! 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Oh that makes sense!! I was thinking that you were in the US all this time, so you threw me off by having a childhood English village 😂 1mo
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Hahaha... you are correct in thinking that I have been in the US all this time! I just have a sneaky international past 😂 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Very international spy of you 😆 1mo
