Our reviews of Lee Child's work

The takes

What we have said about Lee Child

  • Make Me by Lee Child 2015 thriller review. Reacher rolls into a Mother Wells, South Dakota for a single name on a sign and stays for the bodies underneath the wheat.

  • Thriller: Stories to Keep You Up All Night, edited by James Patterson and featuring Lee Child, review. A 30-author anthology that punches above its weight.

  • The 19th Reacher novel. Lee Child sending Reacher to Paris on a sniper-tracking job. Tighter than most late Reacher.

  • A Karin Slaughter-edited collaborative novel-in-stories with Lee Child, Michael Connelly, Peter Robinson, and a dozen other crime writers. Better than the form usually delivers.

  • The 20th Reacher novel. Lee Child in late-period form. A small Midwestern town named Mother's Rest and a missing private investigator.
