"Full of thrills and tension, but smart and human, too. Kim Otto is a great, great character - I love her." Lee Child, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Jack Reacher Thrillers

Readers Rave about Don't Know Jack:

"After reading your last story, I can hardly wait to meet back
up with your characters." M.A.

"I just finished Don't Know Jack and can't wait to get the next book." K.P.

"Great authors are rare, and this book makes me want to read more of Diane Capri's books. I hope she will keep searching for Jack and taking us along for the ride." N.

FBI Special Agents Kim Otto and Carlos Gaspar have received a special off-the-books assignment: build a secret file on Jack Reacher. In this short story, Otto and Gaspar reveal a bit of themselves as they make every effort to put Jack in a Box using legal means John Grisham fans admire.

Hunt for Reacher # 1.1 (#2)

In this short story of 37 pages or so Agents Otto and Gaspar reveal a bit of themselves as they try to catch Jack Reacher.

My thoughts:

.Not much to this story. What is there is not important
.We learn little about the agents. Who cares about grand-ma or 5 kids?
.The story says nothing and brings nothing important to the hunt for Reacher
.Where is the plot? Babbling a lot about family matters
.Extremely slow moving.
.Boring 10 short chapter vignettes
.Poorly written: choppy sentences (resembling my above thoughts)
.Very forgettable: I had a hard time remembering what I had just read....

Conclusion:

Not worth reading forget buying (thank goodness if was a freebie) ( )

Great short story following the lines of the first book in this (hopefully) series. I only felt bad as it was so short in length, where I had hoped to sit down and be enthralled for a couple hours or more. Looking for more by this author! ( )

Title: Jack in A Box (The Hunt for Reacher Series #2 A Short Story)
Author: Diane Capri
Pages: 100
Year: 2014
Publisher: AugustBooks
My rating is 4 out of 5 stars.
Some readers may be tempted to pass up short stories or novellas in a series, but in this case I sure hope readers don’t. Diane Capri shares tidbits of information that come into play with the main character of Jack Reacher. FBI Special agents Otto and Gaspar continue their assignment to build a file and locate Jack Reacher as he is suspected of crimes.
Yet, here when both Otto and Gaspar attempt to do some digging into Reacher’s past to find information, they come up with less than stellar success. Readers will also get keen insight into the lives of both special agents and more mystery as to who assigned them the task and why. A quick and enjoyable look into the lives of the agents and their assignment. ( )

An odd short story in that it felt more like a "deleted scene" from the author's first book in the Hunt for Jack Reacher series. And it wasn't clear if this story was supposed to come before or after the events in that first book. ( )

JACK IN A BOX was the first short story in the The Hunt for Reacher series. First off I have to say this was a very quick read. However, I was a little confused as I read DON'T KNOW JACK first thinking this was the first in the series of books. I wasn't expecting a short story. I was expecting another full length novel. Now had a investigated a little on the author's website I might have read the short stories first and then did the full length novel. I enjoyed it for what it was a short story. It was an entertaining read.
