The Hard way is the tenth installment in the Jack Reacher series and is one of my favorites so far. I am always so surprised as to how Lee Child is able to conceptualize the scenarios that Reacher is dragged into. The books read simply, are typically fast paced, but the mystery aspects of them are done so well. There are layers, and it is always exhilirating watching the reveals unfold.
This one was a reread for me, and I am grateful that I had forgotten most of it. I was left guessing the entire time, and the twists and big reveal felt very realistic and plausible, and I am mad I didn't figure it out myself.
The pacing was breakneck for the most part, and the story consisted of its fair share of interesting characters. Looking forward to the next one!
