I love to throw in a Jack Reacher book here and there during reading slumps. The sharp, blunt writing style is a welcome break for my mind! No difficult words or concepts, just the facts crisp and clear. I decided to read the books in publication order, so I started with this one. This first installment is a dark, brutal thriller/mystery. Definitely check content warnings before you read!

Although I do have some problems with the story (how quickly the police department includes Reacher in the investigation and Roscoe’s lost potential as a standalone character/instant attraction, for example), this book was written in 1997, it was exactly what the author promised in the introduction, and I was entertained throughout the entire story.
