Taught thriller, starts off strong and snowballs into an adrenaline-filled blast. Pure popcorn fun.

After taking a book off from it, Child develops Reacher's character a bit by bringing him into contact with people who knew his brother before he killed. Which is nice and commendable, but it's not his strong suit.

Most of the time, he does what he does best: he puts a target in front of Reacher, gives Reacher juuuuust enough info to keep stumbling from one clue to the next, getting closer and closer to his prey. And when he tracks his prey down things really start going Reacher's way.
