Slow start but picked up. Good character development. Tightly knitted story. Interesting SD flavor. Enjoyed the book.

I can't believe that right in the middle of bumper-to-bumper-Dallas-practically-stopped-rush-hour-traffic with about 200 miles to go I got to the end of this book. I backed it up and listened again. WHAAAT? So badly did I want to get to a computer to ask a question or two. If I say more it will be to much of a apoiler! The story started out slowly for me but got better and better - it totally kept my attention driving from Tucson through a huge part of the state of Texas! And for the first time in many, many Reacher books, I figured out the back guy before he did! Didn't take away from the story, though.
That didn't take long. I WAS going to take a Reacher break, but given how this one ends, I CAN'T.
Reacher lands in small town South Dakota. Includes a biker gang running meth with a Mexican drug lord, a new prison, and a very important witness that someone is trying to kill. Some interesting plot points, and a good read, but not one of the best. Figured out who it was early on.
It’s an enjoyable tale, with a mysterious ending that I have not yet found a good explanation for. Won’t proved a spoiler, but its a bit unsatisfying to have a few loose ends at the end

This received 4/5 stars because of a rare occurrence - Jack Reacher does not have sex with the strong female lead! Seriously, it gets a little repetitive and boring for an (frankly) intimidating/scary individual with no fixed address and only the clothes on his back to have sex in every book.
I might have liked this better if I didn't have to read it and I had read the previous books in the series. I didn't feel connected with the characters, which was good because the death toll was high, but I could have stopped reading the book halfway through and not have cared if I learned about the ending.
Basically, this just was not the book for me.

pretty good for a pulp fiction. (Also, this was the first book I actually checked out from the Charlotte library for my Kindle. That's the more important thing.)
