A pretty run-of-the-mill Reacher adventure. The opening scene had little impact because I have another two Reacher books to get to, and the planning for the opening scene still didn’t convince me, but I'm glad it didn’t go to plan . There's little to no intrigue in the Reacher books for me because they are so formulaic, but it's a favourite series of mine and I enjoy another Reacher outing because each book adds another piece to the puzzle of who Reacher is. Reacher seems to have gotten funnier since Lee & Andrew Child started collaborating on the Reacher books, which I greatly appreciate. What's more, this book made it really difficult to be appropriately wary of an antagonist with the name Dendoncker 😂 hilarious! I got a little feeling of what I used to get when I read the earlier books, which was nice.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC of this title. I am a longtime Lee Child fan, and have read every book in the series. Unfortunately, this may have been my least favorite. It felt formulaic and I wasn't gripped by the story. Also, the violence is starting to feel overwhelming and gratuitous - not enough of the behind the scenes though from Reacher.

Not sure I loved the first person POV, but a Reacher story is always fun
