I enjoyed this book as much as I did the very first one. I like the format and the style as it is a bit different from his other tales. As always fast paced and moves along quick and I can finish it on a lazy Sunday!

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!

One of Child’s best. There’s even a cliffhanger ending! Books joining together! GASP.

Will make an excellent series of the TV show.

I thought I missed something and had to go over the end again. Nope. What a strange ending!

Another page turner. Over the top as all Reacher stories are and good escapist reading.
