Why read it?

2 authors picked No Plan B as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It’s a Jack Reacher book. For me it’s an annual treat now—a tradition—like Christmas. Comforting. Familiar. Reliably enjoyable.

Admittedly, there once was a time when a Reacher book would have automatically been my number 1 favourite book of the year, and they aren’t quite as good as they used to be, but Jack is still such a great character he’s almost become writer-proof. Can’t wait to reach number 28.

And for me, it did not work in the first book they wrote together. No Plan B, however, was much more in the old Reacher style and was a complete success as far as I was concerned.
