Good Reacher book, still finding ways to be different.
Such bad writing. Sentences that aren’t sentences. Like this. Why?
The first Reacher book to be co-credited to Lee Child’s brother, Andrew, barely breaks stride from its predecessors. A couple of slight stylistic tweaks may be evident; the narrative takes a welcome twist midway through, revealing this to be a rather different type of Reacher story to that which it appears to be.
I've read and enjoyed a couple of Andrew Grant's novels before, but admittedly I was a little hesitant to see Reacher in the hands of another mind after all these years.
You can tell some things about Reacher are not quite the same, but I still found it a satisfying read and feel the Reacher legacy is safe for another year.

Maybe after 25 of these novels... Reacher needs a rest. This came across as Reacher-lite. Regardless, Reacher is still the best.
The Sentinel is the 25th book in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child. Per usual, Reacher is roaming the world with no destination in mind. Wherever the road may take him. One morning he ends up in a town near Pleasantville, Tennessee. There is nothing pleasant about this place.
In broad daylight with swift motion, Reacher witnesses an ambush. It was four against one so he intervenes and helps the stranger. He turns out to be an IT manager recently fired after a cyberattack. The whole town blames him but he claims to be innocent and intent on clearing his name. There's always more to the story and Reacher has nothing better to do than feed his intrigue. Add in murder, conspiracy and a cover-up and The Sentinel is a solid 5-heart read.
Luckily a migraine did not hit while I was reading this bestseller. It kept my mind spinning with possibilities of an ending while trying to solve the mystery too. The subject is very relevant considering how many companies have been hit with cyberattacks and alleged election rigging in the great USofA.
I don't know how Lee Child still comes up with exciting plots so deep into a series. This is #25 and a page-turner! (Other authors should take note!) Perhaps it is the new collab with younger brother, Andrew, and his fresh ideas/passion for fiction. Keep it coming! ~LiteraryMarie

I'm sure this 2 star rating is my worst ever for a Reacher novel and I think it's generous. Talk about your formulaic, just "going through the motions" effort. In fact, it feels just like 61 Hours with the same underground lair substituting politics for drugs. It's kind of sad for me because this was such a great series until these last two, Blue Moon & The Sentinel, which have both been duds in my opinion.
