A review by vlreid
Bad Luck and Trouble by Lee Child

4.0

I originally read this Jack Reacher book in series order back in 2018. Recently, I decided to re-read it while I'm watching Reacher season 2 on Prime. Needless to say, I didn't remember many of the plot details when I started watching the series. And I thoroughly enjoyed the second reading, although I have to say that other than the characters and the basic premise, virtually all other plot lines have been changed in the streaming series.

We get to see Reacher during his military police days in the Army, along with the other seven members of his Special Investigation Team. A few years after the team has broken up, Reacher and three of his team members band together to investigate what happened to the other four team members.

We also get to see how Reacher's mind works with numbers, starting with the SOS number code on his ATM bank balance. He is continually doing math problems in his head throughout the book. And for those readers who have watched Reacher season 1, you'll be happy to know that Neagley is back as a major character in this book.

All in all, a great throwback Jack Reacher book.
