@penguinrandomhouse for sending me this to review! This book is well written and whilst it starts slow it definitely picks up and gets lots packed in. A couple of bits were a little repetitive but not enough to ruin the story. This was my first book from the Reacher series and I had no problem following it at all!

I usually love Reacher books, but I really don’t like how this one was written. First person for Reacher annoyed me and the repetition 87,000 times of the name Dendonker was super aggravating.

2.5. This was really good until the end and then it just sort of petered out. Meh. Why drop it at the end? All the makings of an exciting story that turned out boring.
