The Mechanic: A John Tyler Thriller

after all his years in the military, putting his skills to work in a civilian setting has proven a challenge. working in a new environment finally as a hands on single dad, it is on He$$ of a ride!

What a totally awesome introduction to this new John Tyler series The Mechanic is. John Tyler is a truly fantastic character that I already can’t wait to read more of. Not really from the same mold as Reacher, more like a cross between Reacher and Harry Bosch. So, who is Tyler, as he likes to be called? Ex-special forces soldier, where the similarity to Reacher comes in, and father to grown up daughter Lexi. It’s this relationship that made me think of Bosch. He’s looking for a new line of work after quitting his bodyguarding work and when he finds an offer for a classic car mechanic he thinks he’s all set. Well, he finds quite a bit more than just a new job. Tom Fowler has raised his game to new heights with this complex twisting story. I won’t give away any plot spoilers but just know it’s excellent with many different sides to the story all woven perfectly together to create an addictive story. I’ve enjoyed Tom Fowler’s other books but this is already my favourite.

A fun thrill ride John Tyler, former Army special ops. and private security worker, decides to follow his daughter’s advise and look for a job to keep him busy. As the story progresses he finds the perfect job, determines it comes with some snags, and needs to decide who he really is to be satisfied with his life. Tom Fowler’s The Mechanic is a fun thrill ride worth reading for any thriller reader. In the same world as his C.T. Ferguson books, there are some cross over characters and plenty of new characters to love. I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
