Review ------ "Absolutely loved Past Tense – Lee Child just gets better and better, which is a very rare quality in a writer of a long-run series. Whip smart, always compelling, always fun, he is dangerously addictive." (Peter James) "Jack Reacher is today's James Bond, a thriller hero we can't get enough of" (Ken Follett) "I loved it. One of the best." (Jonathan Ross) "It’s Lee Child. Why would you not read it?" (Karin Slaughter) "Sometimes you just want someone who can beat the s*** out of people! I pick up Jack Reacher when I’m in the mood for someone big to solve my problems" (Patricia Cornwell) "Loved [Past Tense]! Nothing makes for a great weekend quite like quality time with Jack ." (Lisa Gardner) "Busy, bloody and ingenious" (The Times) "One of the best...hits the mark perfectly." (Joanne Harris) "The pace picks up...the action becomes brutal, and we're led to an extremely satisfying conclusion...I'm becoming increasingly understanding of our appetite for fiction that features proper punishment for baddies. It's deeply comforting to escape into an imaginary world where we're all safe in Jack Reacher's gammon-joint sized hands." (Independent) "Child's writing seems unusually expressive in this novel...a reminder that Child is one writer who should never be taken for granted."
