Blue Moon by Lee Child Book Summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher! 

“Jack Reacher is today’s James Bond, a thriller hero we can’t get enough of.”—Ken Follett

“This is a random universe,” Reacher says. “Once in a blue moon things turn out just right.”
 
This isn’t one of those times.
 
Reacher is on a Greyhound bus, minding his own business, with no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. Then he steps off the bus to help an old man who is obviously just a victim waiting to happen. But you know what they say about good deeds. Now Reacher wants to make it right.
 
An elderly couple have made a few well-meaning mistakes, and now they owe big money to some very bad people. One brazen move leads to another, and suddenly Reacher finds himself a wanted man in the middle of a brutal turf war between rival Ukrainian and Albanian gangs.
 
Reacher has to stay one step ahead of the loan sharks, the thugs, and the assassins. He teams up with a fed-up waitress who knows a little more than she’s letting on, and sets out to take down the powerful and make the greedy pay. It’s a long shot. The odds are against him. But Reacher believes in a certain kind of justice . . . the kind that comes along once in a blue moon.

Pure, unadulterated nonsense.. The worst Jack Reacher novel, ever. I don’t know who wrote this, but it certainly wasn’t Lee Child. This was amateur hour, all the way. The plot was ludicrous, the characters unbelievable and Reacher was a poor imitation of the real thing. As crazy as Tom Cruise playing Reacher may be, this book makes even that seem plausible. If this is what the Jack Reacher has become, the end is neigh.

Predictably terrible. These series has gone to trash. The entire books are now a slow overly explained build to a boring obvious confrontation. Ha e read every book and regretted spending the time on the last 3-4. My fault for expecting more. Just incredibly bad.

Blue Moon. Another great Reacher yarn. Jack is dropping bad guys like flies at a picnic. A little complex plot, but it ends right.

Another Reacher Legendary Book. Reacher again displayed the type of hero we all would like to be had we possessed his skills and moral compass.

Due For a Bad One. The Reacher series is usually reading that can’t be put down. This one, in my opinion, was a dud and hard to follow. Time to start the next one.

Blue Moon. The very first Reacher book I won’t finish and I’ve read them all. They were all good to great until this one. It’s truly awful. I can’t believe Lee Child wrote it. Next.

I Can’t Read Any More. I have read the entire series and they used to be good/great. I expect a “story” and am willing to allow for semi-unbelievable. But this book is horrendous. It is as if the author took a formula for beginning, middle and end and then forced a crappy story into it. Really. Do not spend money on this book.

Uh oh. Tired city, tired characters, tired book tired reader.

Blue Moon. Although full of “Reacherisms” like violence, weapons and all sorts of movement, there was something missing from Blue Moon that other Reacher books had. Maybe it was the characters - or not. Can’t put a finger on it as it was over before I knew it.

Blue Moon. Worst book ever by this author. The book is more of a blatant attack on the women of Ukraine than a novel. The author did not do his research and it shows. I’ll never read him again.

Lee Child’s Blue Moon. Lee Child’s Blue Moon, worst book ever!

Blue Moon. A surprisingly weak effort by Mr Child!

Blue meaning let down.. one of the weakest in the series

So disappointed. I’ve read so many Jack Reacher stories, and I really enjoyed them. This one is, in my opinion, sloppy and ridiculous.

Great. Great Read 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Blue Moon. It actually makes me feel bad to give this book such a poor review. I've read just about every one every one of the Child books and look forward to each new release with anticipation. However this one is a stinker.The scenario is ludicrous with Albanian and Ukrainian rival gangs controlling opposite sides of an American "small town USA" place. Reacher arrives and kills all the bad guys before he is through, including chopping the head off one of them. In this bomb, Reacher is turned into a seriously screwed up ex Army Major who manages to give all the drug lords millions to poor parents of a 30ish daughter with cancer who, by the way, have been loan shared into poverty by the gangs, etc., etc. Need I go on!!! I think Lee lost it on this one and his previous effort was a downer too. You can do yourself a favor, (as Trump would say), and avoid a bad experience, at least once in a blue moon, by skipping this book. I hope Lee can get it back together, he may need an "Intervention", before it is too late. Something is wrong. A sad Lee Child Fan, Marty

Blue Moon. This book was nothing but killing for killing sake. Trumped-up plot, slow, boring. Don’t waste your money.

Blue Moon. Not impressed by this dark, brooding Reacher. Still worth the read, but where is the famous Reacher wit?

Blue moon. Great book. Lee Child never fails to keep you in suspense.

Blue Moon. Not one of his best.

Not His Best. Having read all of the Reacher series, comparatively, Childs work here is weak. Some bodies, ok. Good against bad, ok. Same ending, ok. But bodies everywhere? In numbers in the 20 + ? Really too far out.

Blue Moon. His earlier plots had some believability. Not in this one. Seems like a made for Tom cruise movie. I may have overrated it with 2 stars.

Reacher gone rogue. Interesting plot. Well researched and typical terrific Child narrative. A little over the top in terms of Reacher’s invincibility and whomever sides with him. Nonetheless entertaining and satisfying. Always impressed how Child comes up with new ways Reacher makes things right

Fine but not great. The book was missing a few important points. In most Reacher books the violence is offset by knowing that the bad guy deserves it. The bad guy usually has done something horrible and unsettling to the point where you feel like someone needs to hurt him. That’s staple of most Reacher books. However this one fell flat. The bad guy wasn’t bad enough and it shows. You don’t feel like the Reacher crusade is justified. Second the person in trouble was so non-sensical that it is hard to feel like there is a motivating story that causes all the chaos and mayhem that is to come. A lot of reviews call this book violent but it’s no more violent than any other Reacher story. What’s really happening is that you can’t buy into the violence being necessary because their isn’t enough reason to believe those on the receiving end of the violence deserve it.

Have skills will use them.. Reacher is the modern day Paladin, an unattached knight errant with his own sense of right and wrong and how to make the wrong right again. He is not employed by any other retainer than his own moral compass. That is the success of Lee Child’s knight. It is also the success of the saga of Jack Reacher. - Mission Capable

Another great Reacher-Child read. Same formula, same fantastic read. I’ve read them all and this one keeps the road trip alive. I read some bad reviews store buying and those were wrong in my opinion. A great week of reading for me while traveling...pure pleasure. Thank you Mr. Child.

I bit far fetched. Have read all the Reacher books. This one was by far the hardest to read and at times was boring with the repetitive dialog. Soon all characters had taken the Reacher mode of talking. The killing of hoards of bad guys was over the top. The ability to kill those hoards with no appearance of law enforcement was a stretch. It was a tough one to swallow. Sorry Jack you missed it on this one.

Boring and Predictable. Do not waste money. This book was full of wasted words just to make more pages. So unlike this author. You can skip entire chapter and miss nothing. Very disappointed

Not a favorite, very disappointed. I have devoured all of Lee Child’s books and have never been disappointed until this one. It seemed to drag on forever . . driving around the same street corners over and over . . too many killings like never before . . and the repetitive characters . . I had to make myself finish it. This book read like Lee Child was in a hurry to get it to the publisher for a deadline. Reacher didn’t seem like himself, killing almost everyone. Boring, without plot development in terms of the original plot to recover money lost to a tech guy. Should have stuck to the original plot. I also wonder why Reacher didn’t verify that the daughter was really sick. It’d have been a better story if Reacher had investigated who was taking the money for the daughter’s medical treatment.

Blue Moon. Good Jack Reacher story. Sergio Leone would be flattered.

O.K.. This is a different Reacher!

What was the point?. This was bad. Way too much killing. Was this a Jack Reacher Novel? I’m not sure what I read. This was a bit much. The waitress is able to handle a gun and shoot like the former Military guys in the story. That was odd.I guess on to the next one.

Dull and rambling. Worst Reacher novel I’ve read, and I’ve read them all, most more than once. I suspect Lee Child is not the one writing these latest books...

Exactly what you expect. If you liked the other 23 you will like this one - same story different town. A good read in true Reacher style.

Reacher-like Yojimbo Redo. A well-paced story that begins perfectly Reacher — our modern, wandering, Lone Ranger — and then develops evenly and sensibly from there, with a fun supporting cast. The tie to the publicly well-documented Russian manipulation of US news could only be improved had Lee Child, a Brit, somehow tied in right-wing Cambridge Analytica’s unscrupulous manipulation of both Brexit and US elections.

Blue Moon. This is a very good book. Reacher at his finest and a good supporting group. Quite brutal.

Jack Reacher is the dude😂. I love getting lost in a Jack Reacher novel!

Blue moon. Time for child to put his pen down. A terrible story. His best books are with the fewest violent encounters. This was replete with constant unbelievable fights. No character development. Boring. Usually I plow thru his books. This took weeks. If this were his first book I never would have bought another.

Finally smart again. this book is much much better than I expected, considering how the last 2 weren't that good - Reach goes back to being smart and analytical, which is very satisfying.

Good plot, interesting story. I’d say one of Lee Child’s better 50% of Jack Reacher novels.

Blue Moon. A good story but moved a little slow.

Action packed. A good page turner

Don’t believe the negative reviews. This is another awesome JR novel and I’ve read them all. Is it the best one? No, but it is a fun and great read. Do I read Lee Childs for academic nonfiction stories, no. To those who say Jack Reacher is out of character, what have you read before? Sure, Jack is a bit more aggressive in this story, but he’s not supposed to be a righteous teddy bear character. Enjoy

Blue Moon. Tough to read. Caught up in too much minutiae. Situations just too extreme to be plausible. Write it a little more realistic, let Hollywood gloss up the movie version.

THE SLIDE CONTINUES. I am halfway through and bored to death. The plot to date is boring and the action not your typical Jack Reacher. I will finish this book but will not buy another until I have read the reviews. Mr Child seems to have lost his way

Adverbs & Adjectives. I am a HUGE Reacher, Bosch, Davenport et Alia fan. But this book would have been a 30 page report without all the adverbs & adjectives. Personally, I don’t think Lee Child wrote this book, rather he had someone else do the work for him.

Good. This was what was expected from a Reacher story well written and descriptive enough to imagine seeing everything as it happened.

Blue Moon. I’ve read every one of the Jack Reacher books and loved most of them. Blue Moon didn’t have much depth. A lot of lame fill in paragraphs of trivial detail trying to deliver clever dialogue and humor. Ridiculous scenarios of Reach killing off approx 100 people single handedly. Stupid plot. Two stars is generous. I want a refund.

Over the top. Have read all Reacher books. Loved each one. This one was different. Too much Mayhem, killing, absurdity. Maybe just too many bad guys to be killed by the end of the book.

Blue Moon. I have read them all and love the series. However, this one was not at all realistic, was a tad boring and over the top with loose ends.

Blue Moon. Lee has lost his touch. Over the top. Jack is no longer relevant.

Quentin Tarrentino-ish. The story is a little more violent than what we are usually used to. The body count quickly rises, not with physical justice but with bullets. Lots and lots of bullets. A little disappointing to go this route but I guess it’s the only way to go when you pick a fight with a small army.

Blue Moon. I will never tire of Jack Reacher! ❤️
