It feels redundant to keep reviewing these. It was a good one. Maybe I really only need to say something if I find one that I DON'T like.
adventurous dark mysterious tense fast-paced

As a physical read I enjoyed and I loved it on audio for my reread. This series is just too good.

Pretty good, but there could have been more action. The twists are also pretty good, and I like most of the characters. A couple of things bother me though- where is Jack Reacher getting all this money he spends, and why is it not okay for the bad guys to kill people but okay for the good guys to kill bad people without even facing consequences? Dick Hill's narration isn't good at first, but he gets better by the end, except for his female voices- terrible!

Another great book in the series. A Jack Reacher movie was adapted from this book and is possibly better than the book version. The film had a better ending in my opinion.

Fantastic! It's amazing how Child continues to find new heart pounding stories for Reacher. This one never slowed down.

I've read a few Jack Reacher stories now and this was one of the better ones. I gave it 4 stars mostly because it's more engaging and entertaining than most of the others I've read, not because it's necessarily a great book. It did what it set out to do, and it did it pretty efficiently.
