Child's best for some time: an enhancement of the old formula, with detective-story and romcom elements (even sly humour) on top of the psychological duels and set-piece violence. Sunday Times Typically blunt and energetic...precisely judged. Independent Lee Child's Reacher series has hit Book No. 20 with a resounding peal of wisecracking glee ( Are you going to be a problem? I'm already a problem. The question is, what are you going to do about it? ). Everything about it...is as strong as ever...Make Me is a hot one. -- Janet Maslin New York Times Breathless and bloody...You can't help lapping it up. Evening Standard The fights are convincing and the dialogue is as brilliant as always. Literary Review
