This is the first time I have ever experienced Lee Child's work, and even though I think it's more a "guy" book, it was SO good! I definitely want to read the other Jack Reacher novels of his. This is the 4th book in Child's Reacher series, but it isn't necessary to read them in order. Or so it seems from this one.
In Running Blind, you meet the manly man that is Jack Reacher. As an ex-military police officer, Reacher comes under suspicion of the FBI, when a couple of women whose assault cases he had handled in the army wind up murdered. Soon they realize Reacher's innocence, and bring him on as a consultant due to his expertise. The murder scenes are spotless, the killer is crafty and leaves not a trace of evidence, not even as to how the women are being killed! The only thing left behind is a tub full of army standard green paint with the women perfectly preserved inside.
It's an exciting, fast-paced read. Reacher is a likable character and Child is a great writer. If you like murder mystery/adventure style reads, then give this one a-go!
