She has picked up the same desire for justice that pushes Reacher forward and, once she confirmed Reacher was one of the good guys, understood that he would be the perfect person to hitch on to.

A sad indictment of how the lure of Prime time TV money leads an exceptional author down a screen play route for what would otherwise have been an excellent premise for a Reacher novel.

It did not follow the usual MO for Reacher's travails and was too choppy from one scene to another, one character to another. In addition to the sameness of these books, I have come to find Reacher’s lack of any personality or charisma tiresome.

From the start we are presented with three separate narrative threads: a group of bigwigs at a Correctional Facility (euphemism for “prison”) in Mississippi planning for a major event the following Friday; in Colorado, Jack Reacher is the sole witness to the murder of a woman as she is pushed under a bus; teenager Jed Starmer prepares to leave his unhappy foster home in Los Angeles and make the perilous journey across the country to, hopefully, meet his biological father. Carpenter - Middle man between Minerva and their clients for inmates that were being harvested for body parts. The authors have kept the series moving along, though anyone could easily pick up a book at any point in the series and be perfectly content. Then page one was pure setting with elaborate descriptions of buildings/rooms, written in passive voice with too many short, choppy sentences.

And he's about to find a big one, on a deserted Arizona road, where a Jeep has crashed into the only tree for miles around. to see how the Child (Grant) brothers will handle Reacher in the future, as well as whether they foresee an end of his nomadic ways. I think most of my satisfaction comes from the fact that Reacher is always the winner despite any odds.

The way he assesses a scene before he has to kick some ass, telegraphing minimal moves for maximum damage, sometimes with anecdotes from past teachers or past fights. And he sees what actually happened: A man in a gray hoodie and jeans, moving like a shadow, pushed the victim to her death—before swiftly grabbing the dead woman’s purse and strolling away. A prison full of guys talented enough to create forgeries of famous works of art or computer geniuses?It consisted of a bunch of disconnected plots which all come together in an ending which was obvious, unsatisfying and totally ridiculous. Reacher pursues the man into an alley, confronts him in his usual unabashed manner, easily takes his gun away, spins him around and forcefully pushes him into the adjacent alley wall with resultant broken nose and freely flowing blood from multiple gashes. But the official ruling is suicide so Reacher feels compelled to figure out what's really going on and who would want her dead. As Lee becomes more and more hands off, Andrew drives the series further and further into the ground. I'm terrible at figuring out what is coming in a book, so the various twists, revelations and unveilings all took me by surprise, despite the abundance of clues (in retrospect, lol).
