This was pretty long and it took me a bit to get into it. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't ever a book that I couldn't put down.

DNF. god awful. Like if you took a Carl hiassen mystery (which I do enjoy) and made every character as boring as a rock. Plus the repetitive fragmented writing. I can’t believe I stayed with the audiobook for this long.
I would accuse him of not developing his single female character but it turns out he doesn’t develop ANY character. Equal opportunity. That doesn’t mean he escapes the misogyny allegations though because the entire intro to the female cop/love interest is about how tight her uniform is over her breasts. I would say he breast’s feature as one of her most defined and described attributes. Horrible stuff.

Great read - can't believe I haven't read Lee Child before. I'll be working my way through this series for sure!
Started off well, but God damn it, the main protagonist is bloody stupid for an ex-detective. There is an apparently massive reveal in the book, and it was so obvious...I won't say what it was, but it was to to with printing money...I gave up at that moment as I couldn't bare reading a page more.

A suggestion of my mother's. She finds Jack Reacher an interesting character. I can take him or leave him.
