Lacerating
—— IndependentStomach-churning, fast-paced, top-notch
—— Sunday ExpressA particularly potent blend of terror and horror
—— The TimesNothing short of brilliant
—— Daily MailA crackingly written, taut and well-characterised crime yarn.
—— TelegraphIrish crime writer Ken Bruen has a stylish line in mean-streets poetry
—— ReutersForget Tony Blair's memoirs, for most people the new Lee Child is the most anticipated book of the year. And with good reason... this is Child on fine form
—— ShortlistA master craftsman of action thrillers. More than just compulsively readable, Mr Child's work shows a perfectly-fashioned understanding of his protagonist, dogged and moralistic. Reacher may get old some time, but he's sure not showing any signs of it
—— Wall Street JournalAdrenaline-fuelled adventure... He knows exactly how to press all the buttons... yet another awesome performance
—— Evening StandardReacher is vengeance personified, a walking, fighting revenge fantasy... what he normally chooses to do is right wrongs and defend the weak against the forces of oppression... Characteristically, Child drives the plot like a rally car, a hair-raising ride careering down the route a break-neck speed... Lee Child's loyal fans know only too well that those who enter his Reacher tales have no reason to abandon hope. Quite the opposite and Worth Dying For is no exception
—— Sunday ExpressIt looked like Lee Child cheekily killed off the seemingly unstoppable Jack Reacher in his last book - but no. Reacher is battered but upright- still the thinking man's action hero, supreme butt-kicker and smartest guy in the room... [another] hell-for-leather story
—— Seattle TimesA model of suspenseful storytelling and an outstanding addition to a series that stands in the front rank of modern thrillers
—— Washington PostChild's gift for pacing makes it almost impossible to start one of his novels without finishing. Worth Dying For is grade-A escapism
—— Independent on Sunday (Books of the Year)Child presses all the buttons... Another awesome performance
—— Mark Sanderson , The ScotsmanBrings a shock of moral horror that is unprecedented in Reacher novels
—— Toronto StarUtterly compelling... one of Child's best. He keeps up the lightning pace, great writing and punchy one-liners throughout
—— Daily ExpressA contender for top thriller of 2010
—— Sun (Best books of 2010)A turbo-charged page-flipper: you're on page 300 before you take a breath...Child is a master of distances, spaces and the physics of opposing forces
