If trouble, for no apparent reason, doesn't up and bite Reacher in the backside, then Reacher will literally go looking for it.
Deals with the blurring of ethical lines and the painful view of an addict's life.

An OK Reacher book - had to force myself to finish it, which is abnormal for me, as they're more of a page-turner. Probably my least favorite Reacher book I've read, and I've read many. It felt incredibly slow to me. A lot of looking for…

This Lee Child book featuring Jack Reacher was disappointing as the story was weak and there was very little "rock 'em sock 'em" action I've learned to expect and enjoy from his other Reacher books. Still, it was certainly worth reading.

I've long been a fan of Jack Reacher, but less so since someone approved Tom Cruise to play him - what an absolute disaster he is as Reacher. You know who would have made a GREAT Reacher? Gary Sinise (Lt Dan, Forest Gump). He has the…

I liked many of the positive comments below and felt this was a strong Reacher outing. Also enjoy the non-traditional / illegal aspect to this one and in particular the unexpected romance.

After reading the short story collection, 'No Middle Name' this is the first Jack Reacher novel I tried. The setting is evocative and a simple premise (a little slow to develop) turns into a well-developed story. Child is a skilful writer…

Having previously read most of his other books, this one was somewhat disappointing !

I liked this book, actually rather more than I usually like the Reacher tales. The fights were still part of the story, but it was a story that contained fights, not a series of fights strung together by a story.
I don't know if Childs…

Agree with the comments that this book gets back on track -- the last few, following Never Go Back, have been peculiar or worse. One area in which Child excels (beyond gratuitous violence, of course) is his portrayal of physical settings.…

Yes, it is Lee Child's Jack Reacher formula yet again.Cliches abound both in language, people and situations but... I think Lee Child in this one feels duty bound to give an insight into the sad fates of those veterans of the wars the US…

Finally, Chlid returns to writing a decent Reacher tale.
As Jack ages, it seems he maims & kills fewer in his adventures.
And we learn what female feature charms him the most.
Totally unbelievable. I guess if you are a fan of Wonder Woman and Batman, you will like this book. Put your mind in neutral and you can get through it. I did but it was an endurance test. Don't waste your time.

Wow, such a page-turner! Very formulaic Reacher (damn, I wish Cruise hadn't played him in the movie, I can't I'm now getting the wrong mental image as I read the novels), which if it works for you, continues in this novel. Very…

Really disappointed, not much action, a lot of geography. Actually Tom Cruise could have done this one. It is the only Jack Reacher book that this could apply to. I kept reading only because I thought there would actually be some action.
