I loved Die Trying! I'd definitely say that it's one of my favorites I've read so far. The plot and villain were intriguing, though it naturally lent itself to a bit of a slower plot. I found that I didn't mind that so much, though. I also enjoyed that this book introduced us some key pieces of the Reacher backstory that Killing Floor didn't have the time to really get into. This is definitely one of the Reacher books I'm most looking forward to rereading at some point.
