A great story, one of Lee Childs best Jack Reacher novels.

Terse writing. Twisty plot, Dark, dark, dark.

Whenever a Reacher book ends with him standing on the roadside sticking his thumb I feel sad and bereft.Anyway, I was happy to find that this is one of the better books in the series. The last two or three had been quite disappointing. 4 stars.

Another Jack Reacher book and it did not disappoint. This one was one of my favorites that Child has written.Reacher is in New Hampshire, trying to make his way to San Diego, he remembers that his father mentioned living in Laconia so Reacher decided to go check it out.At the same time, a couple from Canada stops at a secluded motel a few miles outside Laconia. The staff is acting strange but nice enough. They have car trouble and find themselves stranded and something is not quite right.While in Laconia Reacher gets into some trouble because well, he's Reacher.Child tells two separate, intriguing stories and I waited anxiously for them to intersect. I loved how the two intertwined and reading as Reacher solved so many mysteries. I am in awe of his instincts and how his brain works. I loved this book, being only an hour south of Laconia myself it was a fun read. Reacher seems to have grown more sassy over the years and I love his side comments. Child has written one of my favorite characters of all time. I don't think I will ever grow tired of Jack Reacher.

Lee Child as always knocks it out of the park. Jack Reacher is a great character. Exactly what I want to be when I grow up. Please keep this guy alive and moving where and when he wants to be. Thanks Mr. Child.
