Jack Reacher has no place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, so a remote railroad stop on the prairie with the curious name of Mother's Rest seems perfect for an aimless one-day stopover. He expects to find a lonely pioneer tombstone in a sea of nearly-ripe wheat ... but instead there is a woman waiting for a missing colleague, a cryptic note about two hundred deaths, and a small town full of silent, watchful people. Reacher's one-day stopover turns into an open-ended quest leading to the most hidden reaches of the internet, and right into the nightmare heart of darkness. 'Child's best for some time...with detective-story and romcom elements (even sly humour) on top of the psychological duels and set-piece violence' Sunday Times

Any Reacher is good Reacher, but it feels like Lee Child is getting a little tired of Reacher. Would like to see Reacher use more ingenuity.
Lee Child has a winning formula with Jack Reacher. I guess these are one of my guilty pleasures, and it was inevitable that I would read #20. It was OK; I think that the formula is now getting rather tired. About time for few changes. Maybe an ongoing relationship with Chang? I also gather that Child is planning books about Reacher's early military career - they might be fun.
I've only read 9 Reacher books (including this one) but Make Me has to be in my top 3 favorite. Very enjoyable.
Lee Child is one of my favorite authors and I've read everything he's written. Saying that, I'm only giving this book 3 stars. The reacher series is second only to the Mitch Rapp series but this particular book seems a bit contrived and formulaic based on his other books. Maybe I've read too many of his books and just have his style down. Highly recommend for anyone not overly familiar with his writing style though.
