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.
