Otto and Gaspar in a Crossfire

January 6, 2016

The search for Reacher continues. While Kim and Carlos hunt Reacher, the hunted is also on the hunt. There is more to confuse them in why they find themselves being led into dangerous situations on this seemingly simple task to add to the skimpy file on Jack Reacher.
I am again intrigued by the interplay between the two agents as they learn much about themselves in the process of discovering the unique qualities of each other. Capri has created an interesting and thrilling action and mystery series.

This one is told from the perspective of Carlos Gaspar, FBI partner with Kim Otto, on their hunt for Jack Reacher. I admit I enjoy Kim Otto's perspective more that just Gaspar's but Capri blends these two characters so that they understand each other and that makes the stories richer, regardless of which perspective is used in a particular book.The plot on this one is a little thin as it doesn't build on many of the particulars of Lee Child's "Killing Floor." Still, anytime we get to hear about Reacher and what he might have done or where he might be, that's a good read.

Reacher knows better

May 6, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I started out thinking this series wold be entertaining. Well, it is, but. Reacher knows better than to be caught up in this stuff. (the game being played by the officer) Especially this one. The story is well written, there is no problem there. I'm starting to feel really sorry for Otto and Gaspar. They seem to be getting the really short end of the deal here by getting the runaround and led on wild goose chases. Reacher won't be found til he wants to be found. I gave it only three stars because it just abruptly ended, no one apparently aware it was over. I guess I thought there should be more, but there was not.

Good read provides paucity of previous pizazz

Capri produced a workmanlike performance. But, I had higher expectations. Previously, Gaspar's angst and Otto's OCD created an interesting dynamic for their odd couple on the road adventures. In this book they were merely joint travelers. Purportedly looking for Reacher, or information about Reacher, they seek an interview with a damaged former military officer. An attempt on the witness' life delays the interview. So, we are treated to a travelogue of Tampa. The descriptions are good, but not worth the trip away from a story. The ending provides an unexpected twist. However, it provides no greater insight into Reacher. There is no tension. The story lacks the excitement of the chase for Reacher, not the subtle humor arising from their getting close to Reacher, but just a step too late.

This book is good. But, since I really liked the first four Hunt for Reacher books, I was disappointed.

I'm a big Jack Reacher fan so I started reading these after I got up to date with actual series written by Lee Child. It definitely helps to have read the original Lee Child books since there are many references to past story lines. The one thing I don't like about this series of books by Capri is she twists up the history of the Lee Child series to make the present storyline more interesting but it will definitely irritate you if you are a Jack Reacher fan.

Sigh it was ok but I'd rather read Lee Childs

I've purchased all of the Hunt for Jack Reacher series so far but have to admit they just aren't what I'm looking for. They try to add to much mystery to the main characters without really building the character so you can like them or be involved with them. So if you are looking for a Jack Reacher type of story this isn't it.

Though not the greatest, I just get sucked in and keep buying these. I have finished all the Reacher novels and want more. This isn't a Reacher book sadly.

It never had Reacher in it and barely alluded to him....also, it was super short.

Book is a good read just to short. Would like to see more in depth. One of these days they need to actually meet Reached.

Still Hunting for Jack!

Not a bad storyline, just that it makes you more anxious for the next Reacher Book to appear from Lee Child. The plot was well done and thecharacters rolled thru the story realisticaly with the FBI on Reachers trail. Diane keeps you on the edge thinking they'll be a Reacher sighting any moment then poof! The trail is cold again. I do recommend the book to Reacher fans.
