The Fourth Man by Lee Child

stormlightreader's review

3.5

First read: no review.

Rereads:  a short story with a really simple resolution was a bit hard to believe. Are the authorities that happy to let Reacher kill someone because it allows them to close a case on a bad guy? I'm not so sure. Still fun.

A short but interesting story. Not overly keen on the narrator who seems to read each sentence as a separate statement rather than a fluid flow to the reading.

Not good not bad! It was a short story! Killing someone in a foreign country with the governments permission? And Jack can’t drive in USA he is a terrible drive, yet a pro in Australia on other side of the road?? Oh well if I didn’t like Jack and Lee so much I would be upset! Want a ten minute read? This is one of them!

Reacher short stories are fine when collected, but one-offs like this at a cost of a couple of pounds each are not really worth it, IMO.

Reacher doesn't mess around with these revenge seeking Aussie transplants. Nicely done.

I love the Jack Reacher series and the shorts but this one felt too short. It didn't give the usual lead in to the main events of the storyline but was an enjoyable interlude to the main series.
