I love this series of books. I really enjoyed this book, too...but it DID feel a little different. Not sure what it was, but was slightly different.

I'm not sure if it is because Andrew is writing more of the story...and Lee is just punching it up a little or what. I'm not saying that it is bad or anything, but slightly different.

I've read them all. I'm not the biggest expert on the Reacher series, but I do love them a lot.

Okay, enough about that. It might just be me projecting my fears, too. I could be just me.

Loved the story. Definitely a Jack Reacher predicament to be put in/him putting himself in.

I knew it wasn't going to be JUST smoke. I do hope that we may see some of these characters, again.

I also hope that we get ANOTHER book in 2022. One a year is very important to us fans. The more the merrier.

Also, getting SO excited for the upcoming TV show that is being released on February 4th, 2022. Loved the trailer. This is going to be SO much fun.

A load of nonsense - the plot is contrived, the aping of Lee Child’s style is clumsy and laughable. They should just allow Reacher to be killed by a mob of disappointed and disgruntled Lee Child fans at the closest Greyhound bus station.
