I love to throw in a Jack Reacher book here and there during reading slumps. The sharp, blunt writing style is a welcome break for my mind! No difficult words or concepts, just the facts crisp and clear. I decided to read the books in publication order, so I started with this one. This first installment is a dark, brutal thriller/mystery. Definitely check content warnings before you read!
