The plot consists of Jack just happening to show up in the town in the US where his brother was murdered the night before, and gets embroiled in the investigation. Reacher has sex with cop Roscoe, they find a lead, they run down the lead, someone gets killed, and they fall back into bed. Conveniently, Roscoe and Jack were just about to figure out what was going on, what the conspiracy is about and why so many people are getting killed when the person who was going to spill the beans gets offed. Rinse, repeat. When I stopped reading, I still didn't know what was going on, who was behind it, or why. I could make guesses, but this was no mystery novel where there are clues sprinkled and you can put it together. They give you nothing and string you along hoping you'll get answers, but then the next person dies. It would be comical if it wasn't so frustrating.
I don't care enough to read ahead to find out what happens and how the story wraps up. I've seen enough, hard pass.

I had watch the show on Amazon Prime first and loved it. It's not everyone's cup of tea but I thought the character of Jack Reacher was so good so I had to read the book!
Now I'm annoyed the show didn't follow the book - the book is so good! It's hard not to enjoy how Reacher see's the world, how he approaches situations and his style of humour.
