Possibly you might like the early books about Doc Ford by Randy Wayne White. Sanibel Flats is the first.

Susan exactly what I was gonna write

Jack Reacher is my all time favorite book character.. although in my mind he looks like John Cena..?

Oh my word he looks like him to me too!!

I can’t understand how anyone would cast Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher!

Ugh me either I couldn’t even watch the movies. ✋?

Me either.. I’m ready for a new book..?

I had Reacher as Alexander Skarsgard =D

I guess both the book were more interesting than the movie

Harlan Cobens Myron Bolitar has a character that reminds me of Reacher

Really? I love Myron but where do you see the resemblance?

Susan Michel not Myron but his friend, can’t remember his name

Win? Good lord! I’ve got to disagree!

Susan I just mean the way he kicks peoples butts

Well he does do that. Win’s one of the strangest characters ever. I would NOT want to date him.

The Gray Man series by Mark Greaney has a similar feel for me.

I love Reacher novels too. Have you tried C.J. Box’s Joe Pickett series?

SanghamitraQuestion author

No, I have not but will try. Thanks for suggesting

Following

Lucas Davenport of the John Sanford Prey series. Dave Robicheaux series by James Lee Burke

You guys are adding at least a page to my TBR!!

Try Nelson DeMille’s John Corey series, Robert Crais’ Elvis Cole series, David Baldacci’s John Puller and Will Robie series =)

Yes yes yes to Elvis!

There’s no one like Jack Reacher, although now he’s Tom Cruise to me. But I love Tom Cruise, so that’s okay. And I think I’ve read everything Harlen Coben has written—.ya know, guilty pleasure, like Tom Cruise movies!! Well, he’s done some serious stuff like Born on the Fourth of July. I had him for Best Actor that year, but it’s hard to compete with Daniel Day Lewis.

Alex Cross series by James Patterson….

Ei

John Puller Series by David Baldacci

I’m surprised that the Mitch Rapp series by Vince Flynn hasn’t been mentioned yet!

My husband loves Lee Child and also reads John Sanford, Harlan Coban, and Randy Wayne White.

Baldacci has several series with similar characters. Excellent reads.

Seconding Robert Crais’ Elvis Cole series.
And John Sandford, but the Virgil Flowers ones.

William Kent Krueger – Cork O’Connor series – Starting with “Iron Lake.” Fun series of mysteries.

Daniel Silva’s “Gabiel Allon” books. He is a Mossad agent who restores old art.

Love Reacher. I picture him as Ray Stevenson (Dagonet in the King Arthur movie)

I guess I picture him as looking like Lee Child! Just like I see Elvis Cole as looking like Robert Crais.

Just saw a new Reacher book will be out November 5.. Past Tense by Lee Child.. so excited for this one ?
