Good again, with sympathetic characters in Reacher, the brave old lady witness and the female major and one very bad Mexican gangster in small town drug running story
Reacher hitched a ride on a tourist bus on its way to Mt. Rushmore during a snow storm. There's an accident and the bus is wrecked. They end up in a small town in Bolton which has a new prison. It has brought money to the town and doubled the police force quickly. There is also an old military installation which a biker gang has taken over. They might be making meth there, but local cops can't prove it. At one point a witness had seen a drug buy which would've given the cops reason to search the base. The witness is a straight-laced old lady. Reacher gets involved helping to guard the witness because if anything happens at the prison the deal is all 30 cops in town have to help out at the prison. Cops know someone is there to kill this witness.
And it's cold there, Reacher is not happy. Plus a drug lord involved. The military base has Reacher calling old connections, and you think he's going to hook up with the new commander of his old unit.
Top cop in town is the drug lord connection. He kills witness and his second in command.
Don't know if Reacher makes it out of exploding military base.
Someone needs to edit Lee Childs. He needs to go back to being succinct. When you listen to it, you hear the repetitiveness and how poor the dialog can be.

Another wonderful book by Lee Child. I wish I could meet Jack Reacher. He is one fantabulous character.
I had very high expectations of this book as people have been going on about this great writer who have made a hero who is intelligent and sharp as opposed to the usual drunkards cast as heroes in detective stories.
If he is so smart and excellent in all manners, why didn't he even consider that the guy shoving up where he was not supposed to be could have other reasons than just being a nice guy? This destroyed the rest of the book for me.
The repetitive description of tyres is snow got old fast, and if mr. Reacher is so experienced and battle hardened as he boasts, why is he unable to dress for cold weather? No wonder he is continually on the verge of freezing to death when he chooses to wear cotton next to the skin. Idiot.
The action scenes were good, and the intro part was a great setup for the story.
In the end, when you consider what actually happened it would have made absolutely no difference to the outcome that Reacher got involved, except that he caused a cop to be murdered that would otherwise have lived on in ignorance. The next time he is faced with a choice of moving on and meddling in police business I would suggest he just walk on by for the sake of everyone.

Great Reacher tale. Lee Child finds yet another scenario to leave Reacher in the middle of criminal action but cut off from the rest of the world.
While 61 Hours never failed to keep my attention, it perhaps is a sign that Lee Child's run out of ideas. In a series that used to be tense and full of twists and turns, the plot is preposterous, the double cross is easy to spot, and the book is strangely devoid of action, a worthy villain, or much to care about.
I didn't hate it, but it's the second worst Reacher so far.

Weird to have this huge cliffhanger at the end... I've already read the next book, but why drop the reader off a cliff?
A good read maybe I have got used to them as I spotted one plot twist quite early but still an enjoyable Reacher book
I had been reading these in order, but when I encounter one on the popular reading shelf, it is like finding an open bag of Cheetos. Amazingly enough, a random bus crash strands Reacher in a South Dakota town with a prison, an underground stash of forgotten WWII meth, corrupt cops and below freezing temperatures.
