The dialogue-heavy novel is a bit basic in parts, and the crimes at its heart too silly, but Child has this plotted out well and sustains suspense throughout, with the final twists, once the perpetrator has been put out of action, particularly satisfying. There is some clumsiness and silliness here, but Running Blind is a very good lightweight thriller, an easily enjoyable read. The killer leaves no traces behind, and the killings themselves are bizarrely staged, without any signs of the victims struggling. And be sure not to miss Reacher's newest adventure, no.27, No Plan B! ***OUT NOW*** Read more Details What he did to Petrosian's goons isn't the reason they were tailing him, but it does give them some leverage over him, and they use that, for all it's worth (which turns out to be quite a lot).

[4] Reception [ edit ]As to Reacher's experiments in domesticity -- of which there was practically nothing to see in the novel -- , it's pretty clear where that is headed too, with Reacher having reached a decision regarding the house, and with Jodie making partner at her law firm by the end of the novel ..... The murders being investigated -- soon enough there's a third woman dead, killed in exactly the same way -- are certainly baffling. It's fairly silly and unrealistic -- and seems way too elaborate -- but the strangeness of the crimes is intriguing enough. There's meticulous planning involved, in these crimes being committed in the far reaches of the country. The Visitor was released in the United Kingdom on 20 April 2000, [3] and the American publication followed on 13 July of the same year. [1]
