Starred review:
Summary: Those of you familiar with the original Heat movie, this is the prequel. Cops and robbers glamour.
Comments: Written somewhat like supporter Winslow, this is probably the novel of the year. Smoothly written with Lenny of pazzz. It’s that good. Meg Gardiner….big win.

Summary: Jack Reacher strolls into a small Colorado town and witnesses a women get pushed into a moving bus. A teen boy runs from an abusive foster mother. A private prison run by goons is up to something Child blends all together.
Comments: Andrew Child takes the Reacher novels into a new category by taking different story arcs and making a nifty little tie in to the entire plot. Well done. Highly recommend.
