It seems like the ionger the novel went on, the less care and attention was piad to the writing. The ending seems really rushed and there wa no way I could follow the building blueprints.
I've read most of the Reacher books. There are varying degrees of good. This is towards the bottom group of the series. The book starts slow and never really hits its stride. Reacher isn't doing superhuman things, but there are just too many plot holes and improbabilities to be really enjoying. I like the series, but the further along it goes, the more hit and miss these books become.

“We should be magnanimous in victory. Someone said that.”
“Full disclosure,” Reacher said. “I told you before. I'm a certain kind of person. Is the guy in the trunk still breathing?”
“I don't know,” Abby said.
“But there's a possibility.”
“Yes, there's a possibility.”
“That's me being magnanimous in victory. Normally I kill them, kill their families, and piss on their ancestors' graves.”
“1 never know when you're kidding me.”
“I guess that's true.”
“Are you saying you're not kidding me now?”
“I'm saying in my case magnanimity is in short supply.”
“You're taking food to an old couple in the middle of the night.”
“That's a different word than magnanimous.”
“Still a nice gesture.”
“Because one day I could be them. But I'll never be the guy in the trunk.”
“So it's purely tribal,” Abby said. “Your kind of people, or the other kind.”
“My kind of people, or the wrong kind.”
“Who's in your tribe?”
“Almost nobody,” Reacher said. “I live a lonely life.”
