review 'Better Off Dead' by Lee Child and Andrew Child


The Jack Reacher series is all the rage among crime fiction lovers, written by the famous writer James Grant. After being adapted to the big screen under the guidance of Christopher McQuarrie, the book has attracted a wide range of readers and created a wide fan base.

James has authored 24 books under his pen name Lee Child, beginning with "Killing Floor" and ending with "Blue Moon". After the series, Grant collaborated with his brother Andrew Grant to write for the 25th book in the "Sentinel" series under the pen name of Andrew Childe.

Ranked second, the long-awaited "Better Off Dead" was co-authored by brothers and sisters and was finally released in October 2021.

The story revolves around Jack Recher, the protagonist of the same name, who is a former major of the U.S. Army Gendarmerie and begins to investigate interesting but dangerous situations in the United States. When a random attack claimed the lives of five men in a small town in the United States, Jack Reacher was called to investigate a seemingly simple criminal activity, but as he delved deeper, the matter became more complicated.

The latest book, "Better off Dead," further describes Jack Reacher's investigative adventure as he encountered a jeep in the desert and crashed into the only tree that could be seen a few miles away. There was a woman in the driver's seat, who seemed to be dead, but she was probably just unconscious. Who knows? With hidden motives and military history, Michaela Fenton is an FBI agent who wants to bring down the notorious Dandonk. Reacher provides help to satisfy his desire to find someone, and another adventure begins!

Child's "new page-turning thriller" was launched less than 20 days ago and immediately became the number one bestseller in the New York Times. This book is praised for its perfect combination of power and problem-solving intelligence, and is described as one of the most primitive thrillers of the century.

What critics think of this book:

Janet Maslin wrote for The New York Times, "The truth about "Reacher" is getting better...this series is totally addictive."

"Publisher Weekly" said: "Smart writing, vivid action scenes and dramatic twists sign this seamless endeavour. Even those who are their first "Return" novel will ask for more ."
