Title: A Can't-Put-Down-Read
Review: This is Lee Child's best thriller yet. I can't say enough good things about it. First, there's his absolutely knock-out sense of place. The heat and desolation of rural southwest Texas ripple through every page. The starkness of the terrain and outlaw mentality of the cast provide the perfect backdrop for Jack Reacher--army major-turned-drifter--to mete out his own brand of perfect justice.I love Reacher because he's clever and tough, but it's his hint of vulnerability that makes him more interesting with every book. I also loved watching Reacher maneuver around the things he wasn't good at--saddling a horse, for instance. Lee Child kept me guessing about the motives of Carmen Greer, the beautiful Latina who picks up Reacher on the highway, as well as a host of other shady characters. If you're new to the series, start with this one. It'll keep you in your seat.
