Average rating3.7
Ex-military cop Jack Reacher returns in this latest in the award-winning series critics call "spectacular" (The Seattle Times), "relentless" (Denver Post), and "perfect" (The New York Times Book Review).
Reacher is hitching through the heat of West Texas and getting desperate for a ride. The last thing he's worried about is exactly who picks him up.
She's called Carmen. She's a good-looking young woman, she has a beautiful little girl...and she has married into the wrong family. They're called the Greers. They're a bitter and miserly clan, and they've made her life a living hell. Worse, her monster of a husband is soon due out of prison. So she needs protection, and she needs it now.
Lawyers can't help. Cops can't be trusted. So Reacher goes home with her to the lonely ranch where nothing is as it seems and where evil swirls around them like dust in a storm. Within days, Carmen's husband is dead-and simmering secrets send Echo, Texas, up in flames.

Pretty good, bit of a slow burner (no pun intended) as it doesn't appear to be going anywhere and it isn't as big a plot as you would normally expect for Reacher, especially after the serial killer story in The Visitor.
Not disappointed though, yet to find one of the series that genuinely let me down.
nothing remarkable here, just good, solid action. Reacher finds himself in an improbably situation, and handles it as only he can. Bond only wishes he was this good.
Typical Jack Reacher
Solid story, typical Jack Reacher novel. The thing I like the most about these stories is there is very little deus ex machina. Jack wins because Jack is better than everyone around him.
