A gripping mystery that will have you up all night trying to get to the bottom of it (but perhaps hasn't aged so well in places - definitely some descriptions of women I had to skim over for cringe). The ended felt a little rushed compared to the usual Reacher slickness and there was slightly less action than you might expect based on the other books, but it was an interesting concept nonetheless. Jack Reacher stays winning, I remain a big fan.

So far, probably my favorite in the Reacher series. Not because the mystery really threw me for a loop, but mostly because I simply couldn't put it down. I was eager to know the how and why, and how the story would wrap itself up. I also enjoyed that this one asked us to think a little more about the implications of Reacher's lifestyle. Parts of the ending may have been the slightest bit disappointing to me, but not so much so that it impacted the thrill I felt while reading The Visitor.
