"It is close to midnight on a Saturday night when Jack Reacher gets off a bus at the Greyhound station in Nashville. Reacher is in no hurry. He has no appointments to keep. No people to see. No scores to settle. Not yet anyway. But in the early morning hours, under particular circumstances, a familiar thought will be snaking through his sharp, instinctual lizard brain: A voice in his head telling him to walk away. Of course, this wouldn't be the first time he listened to his gut instead. Meanwhile, seventy-five miles south and west of Music City is a sleepy little town where a recently-fired guy nurses a grudge that will fester into fury--and a desire for payback. But who is watching him, standing guard over a long-buried secret, ready to strike before it can be revealed?

A Jack Reacher Novel that is way too long. Too many details. Not nearly as good as it could have ben.

Ready to read and entertaining. This one was more improbable than most .. ( )

Well, I think Jack Reacher is about done. With Lee Child handing over the reins to his brother, it just isn't the same Reacher I've loved over the years. This wasn't a bad book. It just wasn't up to the quality of writing and storytelling I've come to expect in the Reacher series. I couldn't put down most of the previous novels, but this one had a difficult time holding my interest. I generally read a Reacher novel in a day or two. This one took 10, and I had plenty of reading time on my hands. I'll probably read the next one, but I'm not going to miss it if I don't. ( )

Another quality Reacher, I mean, it’s book 20 something, you know if you like these or not by now. And I do. If I had to come up with something to complain about, I guess you could say it was almost too easy for Reacher this time...that is all. ( )

As Lee (or is it Andrew) always says: "Rule one: if you don’t know the trouble you’re in, keep Reacher by your side." ( )
