61 Hours by Lee Child

3.0

I’m very surprised to be giving a 3 star rating to a Reacher book! But, I found the constant countdown from 61 hours slowed the action down. I assume Lee Child used the countdown to ratchet up tension, but it had the reverse affect on me. So, the usual page turning energy from a Reacher book didn’t happen for me until very close to the end of the novel, hence some of my surprise! I found the whole book a bit too cliffhanger-y in odd and disparate ways. I even guessed a big bit of the plot which was also surprising as I tend not to try very hard to do this. Overall though, I won’t be deterred from reading more in the Jack Reacher series!
