First of all, Jodie deserves better. 

Second of all, what an anxiety inducing read. I was so engrossed that I started to be concerned of how “easy” and real the murders felt. I’m a fan of the Reacher films and shows, but never felt drawn to the books. I think I might have been turned. I have another book in the series on my list for later on. This is labeled as a thriller and it definitely was, albeit not in the way I anticipated. 

Also, listen, Jack. I will punch you and break my fist to double down on my first point.
