Thoughts

After the slight disappointment of the last Reacher read, I moved on to the next one and enjoyed it much better. Although, it has to be said that at this point in the series, we have reached peack boilerplate Reacher adventure. There’s a formula and we’re sticking to it. Reacher inadvertently gets involved in a plot, he starts investigating and keeps going even though both good and bad sides don’t want him to, he meets a woman usually in law enforcement and they sleep together with no commitments necessary, and then in the end Reacher singlehandedly takes down the bad guys and saves the day. We know what we’re getting and this one, despite the quite unbelievable action sequences around the subways, was a good entry in the series.

Rating: 3 / 5
