4.0 out of 5 starsOn the Spot, for Jack Reacher fans anyway.
January 24, 2014
Diane Capri's series about the search for Jack Reacher is highly entertaining for those that are Reacher fans, hungry for more about their hero. How it plays with those ignorant of Reacher I don't know. Because I read these first, I then read another of her books and the Reacher books are the best in my opinion. That is just me though. Kudos to Lee Child for his support for her project. I think it works out well for both authors.

At least in her books Jack Reacher is still an unassuming pragmatist, and is still an imposing 6ft 3 or 6ft 4 in height. Lee Child's Jack Reacher shrunk to an arrogant 5.7 last year in the movie theatre. It was due to that shrinking (and miscasting) that the movie did not make its projections in sales.

I have read some reviews about these short stories and novels about Reacher that were negative. People need to get over it that Jack Reacher is not in these books. That is a realm for Lee Child to care for. Don't expect him to turn Reacher (himself) over to another writer just yet.

And "short stories" or novelettes are just that. Don't buy them if you don't like an author having a good little story that is not large enough for a full length novel.

February 9, 2016
This series is based on two agents trying to find Jack Reacher....the first in the series was okay....tied into the very first Jack Reacher novel...kind of an interesting approach....but that kind of disappears with the second and the third try....agents are flawed people, but as a reader, I do not care...and the whole premise is now kind of weird. The third installment (after I bought it) come to find out is more of a short story ....not very long in length. Now I am the first to admit you get what you pay for....reasonable cost for a book...BUT, I think there are other books in the Kindle library that even that small amount of money could purchase that would in the end be more satisfying. One man's opinion, take it for what its worth.

1.0 out of 5 starsLiving off Lee Child's coattails...
September 12, 2016
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
Very disappointed in this whole series. Very poorly researched to the point that I'm insulted as a reader to think I wouldn't notice and so short and non-developed that the story was over before I knew what the story was about. I believe Diane Capri is trying to make a living off the truly inspiring and thrilling "Jack Reacher" series and grasping on the coattails of Lee Child.

Short stories tied to another's work can be difficult, if not impossible. I'm going to give Diane one more chance, then I'm out. Sorry.

I don't care for other writers to use someone else's character invention. For the same reason, I won't watch Tom Cruise, at
5'7" playing Jack Reacher at 6'4 ". I just don't care for Diane Capri's writing and can't stand obnoxious Cruise.

1.0 out of 5 starsHigh Potential, Low Output
January 12, 2018
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
Not very good. More of a writing exercise than a story. Visit hotel, chase the shadow of Jack Reacher. Visit another hotel chase Jack Reacher. No plot, no understanding of why poor Jack is being chased. Jack's compatriots are portrayed as psycho killers. Not what I recall from the Reacher series. The author should give up on this story line, it ain't goin' nowhere fast.

1.0 out of 5 starsShouldn't have made the story around someone else's character

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
The plot line without Jack Reacher would be fine. But trying to capitalize on someone else's success by adding the echo/shadow of Jack Reacher to the story is just aweful. Either he needs to be found and part of the story or complely left out.

3.0 out of 5 starsDisappointing
March 2, 2016
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
They are very short writings with very little to do with Jack Reacher. References are merely to a large shadow of a man who occasionally is watching them and the two agents wanting to accuse every unexplained death on Reacher. Don't like that the two agents instantly assume he is a dangerous criminal and even though he was an MP and all the people they interview say different. Example is that because he was in Margrave the same time as his brother, Reacher had to have killed his brother, REALLY?? There is never any ending or conclusion in the first three SHORT "books" so kind of disappointing. I did the first three novelettes but doubt I will go further as it is just busy reading not the type that makes me want to stay up to finish it or read again for pleasure.

1.0 out of 5 starsHe's a bad dude, for sure
October 12, 2017
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
I've read all the Jack Reacher books, and thought this sounded intriguing. I made it through the first two books, but about halfway through Book 3, I just let it go. The characters didn't seem to know ANYTHING about who Jack Reacher is, and just assumed he was this super-villain. He's a bad dude, for sure, but his moral compass is pretty much pointing in the right direction.

2.0 out of 5 starsJack and Kill: Another search for Jack NMI Reacher continuing story.
October 24, 2019
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
Not much to this one. Two minor FBI agents on a wild goose chase for the mysterious Jack Reacher. At least a non verbal Reacher is in this short story. There is a female FBI lead investigator, Susan Duffy, BATF (what is that?) who is supposedly on the kidnapping of the son of the Vice President but she mysteriously disappears at the end leaving her video of Reacher's action with the two inept FBI agents.There are a lot of unexplained loose ends in this story.

3.0 out of 5 starsDisappointed once again
April 2, 2017

This is the third in this series I have purchased only to find the "short story" is really just a few chapters in what, I hope, is a complete book. My problem is I will probably pay a fortune to see the book to it's completion.
