Running Blind
by Lee Child
Good plot, excellent pacing, and a Chandler-like eye for details (just enough and not too many). I'm a little unwilling to buy into the initial violence in this book, which happens right away while Reacher is eating in a pretty nice restaurant (so uncharacteristic for him), and I'm also not so sure I can endorse the killer's method (revealed at the very end), but I liked all the us-vs.-them in Reacher's interactions with the FBI. He really has no respect for them or their psych profiles, but they've got him over a barrel and he's forced to work with them on a case where women (of course) are being serially murdered. This book is more misogynistic than the first three, and I didn't like that. I did really like the story arc, though — it kept me coming back almost obsessively, eager to see where it would all lead. Along with the misogyny is Reacher's fundamental respect for (most) women, especially those who've served in the military.
