Probably my favourite Reacher book yet

So this was the first Reacher book where it felt far more detective than action-hero. There was a lot less fist fights and car chases and such and more deliberating, discussing and using wits.

I enjoyed the slight change and it was a nice change.

Lee Child's writing continues to bug me a bit, describing places far too much with far too much description. Characters having conversations that lead the plot nowhere and feel like filler.

But this can all be forgiven as this was the most interesting Reacher book yet that has me guessing until the end. Whenever there's intrigue and suspicion to be had, you're always guessing in your head who the villain might be but it wasn't too obvious at any point for me.
