Last year I read 42 stories featuring Jack Reacher. And this year I have read three newly released ones, including this one. First I read the 29 Jack Reacher Novels and short stories by Lee Child. And then I read all the books in this series. This is the tenth novel in the Hunt for Reacher Series, and the thirteenth story featuring Otto and Gaspar. The source book for this volume was Lee Child’s The Affair. That one was the story where Reacher’s last case in the military took place, and it started with a dead woman’s body near a base. In this another body is found killed in a similar fashion 15 years later. 

The cast of characters in this story is:

Kim Otto 
Charles Cooper 
Lincoln Perry 
Eugene Hammer 
Elizabeth Deveraux 
Scott Greyson 
Alec Murphy 
Nina Cloud 
Carlos Gaspar

and

Jack Reacher

I did not really enjoy The Affair it was the only Jack Reacher story that I have 3/5 stars. The rest got 4 or 5. What I did not like was that there was so much sex. It was more of a romance novel. That was not the case this time. I much preferred this book to the source story. It is still taking some getting use to, to have Gaspar working a high-end job but helping out Otto remotely. For the first time Otto encounters someone she assumes is a Reacher ex who is more than happy to talk about the man and his methods. But there is a dead girl. And soon bodies start piling up. And if it was not for luck, Otto would not realize it was all linked. But there are a lot of moving pieces in this story. And unlike many of the Hunt for Reacher stories we do not really encounter him directly. 

This story is much better than the source book. It is a great read in a really fun series. And With the information we garner at the end, I wonder what will happen in Jack Frost, the next volume due out in this series.
