From Hope to Despair. Between two small towns in Colorado, nothing but twelve miles of empty road. All Jack Reacher wants is a cup of coffee. What he gets are four redneck deputies, a vagrancy charge and a trip back to the line. But Reacher is a big man, and he's in shape. No job, no address, no baggage. Nothing, except bloody-minded curiosity. What are the secrets the locals seem so determined to hide?

Thoughts

Another adventure for the reluctant hero Jack Reacher, and if I’m honest, I didn’t enjoy this one as much as some of the previous ones. I liked the premise at the start, these two towns called Hope and Despair and one of them is much friendlier than the other. Reacher getting kicked out of a cafe isn’t a new phenomenon, but then this went on to him investigating just out of nosiness rather than any particular thing happening, and it didn’t quite work for me. Bits of it were good, but ultimately glad to move on from this one.
