Sigh, it’s just not the same.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC of this title. I am a longtime Lee Child fan, and have read every book in the series. Unfortunately, this may have been my least favorite. It felt formulaic and I wasn't gripped by the story. Also, the violence is starting to feel overwhelming and gratuitous - not enough of the behind the scenes though from Reacher.

Not sure I loved the first person POV, but a Reacher story is always fun

Another gripping instalment in the Jack Reacher series. I never get bored of these books.
