"Usual good guy bad guys stuff."
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This novel seems more contrived than usual. The reasons for involvement are what we have come to expect. Somehow none of the plot rings true and the voice is different with two authors. Still an absorbing read though.

"Lacking something"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I didn't like the first person narration, to me it distanced the reader from the main character. Also thought there were too many useless facts.

"A Reasonable Reacher"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Reacher is back to his helping the underdog but I completed the book within 36 hours (as a retiree I am allowed to take long reading breaks). Possibly an easier read than earlier Reacher stories but great interviews as an add on.

Description

Jack Reacher, "the coolest series character" (Stephen King), returns in a brand new, pulse-pounding read from Lee and Andrew Child. Reacher never backs down from a problem. And he's about to find a big one, on a deserted Arizona road, where a Jeep has crashed into the only tree for miles around. Under the merciless desert sun, nothing is as it seems. Minutes later Reacher is heading into the nearby border town, a backwater that has seen better days. Next to him is Michaela Fenton, an army veteran turned FBI agent, who is trying to find her twin brother. He might have got mixed up with some dangerous people. And Reacher might just need to pay them a visit. Their leader has burrowed his influence deep into the town. Just to get in and meet the mysterious Dendoncker, Reacher is going to have to achieve the impossible. To get answers will be even harder. There are people in this hostile, empty place who would rather die than reveal their secrets. But then, if Reacher is coming after you, you might be better off dead.
