Janet's review
Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher Series, #12) by Lee Child
This is a series of books that I read instantly, as soon as each is published. This is the twelfth.
The main character, Jack Reacher, starts the series as an MP in the army. He investigates and solves mysteries. However, 3 or 4 books ago, he left the military. He chooses total, unstructured freedom. He just travels around the country. He rides the bus, hitchhikes, and walks. He owns nothing but a toothbrush. He carries not ID and checks into motels using fictitious names. He gets money from an ATM when he needs it. He buys new clothes when his get dirty. He is invisible and free.
Of course, he runs into situations that lead to novels involving murders and other crimes. I like him because he is smart, competent, and honorable. I understand and like his point of view. The plots are clever and impossible to guess.
