Pretty good mystery, well crafted as per usual.
I also felt very well learned when the first episode of season 2 referred to this case!

Terrific read! My first by this author - can't wait to read more & am looking forward to the movie! (even if Tom Cruise is Jack). Very well written!

My first Jack Reacher novel! I came into this series expecting some really over the top Mission Impossible style action (I suppose the film adaptation starring Tom Cruise gave me the idea?) but it was a surprisingly grounded crime thriller that I really enjoyed.
The action moves quickly, and I quite enjoyed the supporting cast. The inclusion of the newscaster as an unexpectedly brave and active member of the team was a really pleasant surprise, and it's always nice to see the ladies in this sort of story get to join in on the plans rather than just sit and wait in the car, even if they're at a glance not well suited to jump into the action!

The overall mystery felt well planned, and I was always guessing as to what really happened up to the end, which kept things fun and engaging throughout. Reacher himself is also a fun protagonist to follow and his dialogue had plenty of character to it!
I'm absolutely interested in reading more of the series now and finding out more about Reacher's past.

Can’t go wrong with this. If you like a book that is suspenseful and full of twists and turns then this is the one

The best Jack Reacher so far, without a doubt.
