Review:
This is the second Jack Reacher book I've now read, and I have to say, if all the Reacher books are like this, dang, they're gonna be the best thriller series of nearly all time!
The story is that the now wounded, vulnerable Reacher arrives in a small town in Nebraska, where the Duncan family rules, and strikes fear into the hearts of the defenseless citizens. Reachers plan is to drink a coffee, then move on to Virginia. But when he sees a woman brutally beaten by her husband, Seth Duncan, he steps in. But it's the unsolved case of an eight-year old girl that he just can't let go.
This is an extremely brutal, extremely intense thriller, which keeps you permanently on the edge of your seat. Reacher is the sort of guy you'd have nightmares from if you are a criminal, and the sort of guy you'd like to have helping you when there's trouble around the corner. There are a lot of violent fight scenes, and especially one scene just stuck in my mind. The end solution might be shocking, and even the normal tough Reacher was troubled at the end.
So yeah, for me, 8/10 stars, or in the case of Goodreads, 4/5 stars.
