Title: Not one of Child's better ones
Review: I read this Reacher novel after having read others in the series, and I have to say I did not like it, as it was nowhere near the caliber of the others I'd read (The Enemy, The Affair, Hot Shot). Carmen was not a sympathetic character and I never did feel that much sympathy for her. Reacher seemed tired and the plot wound all over the place. His sidekick Alice, who only appears later in the book, came across as rather flat, too.
Is the review positive or negative?
