About this deal

It consisted of a bunch of disconnected plots which all come together in an ending which was obvious, unsatisfying and totally ridiculous. I think most of my satisfaction comes from the fact that Reacher is always the winner despite any odds. Co-written by the series creator Lee Child and his brother Andrew Child, it was released on October 25, 2022. The whole thing begins as Reacher sees a man throw a woman under the bus - quite literally - after which he steals her purse and runs.

We learn about fifteen year old Jed, while living with foster parents, learns that his birth mother is dying of stage four pancreatic cancer and on her death bed finally tells him the truth about his father. It did not follow the usual MO for Reacher's travails and was too choppy from one scene to another, one character to another. The details, of course, I can't reveal, except to say there's never a dull moment; all points converge at the end, and readers learn what happens to all the people who started off as strangers but end up as, well, you'll have to read it for yourself to find that out.Wonderful plots help keep things sharp and on point throughout, something that Reacher appears to enjoy as he makes his way across the country.

As he did so successfully in Past Tense, the author weaves several narrative threads, only one of which tracks Reacher himself.

And to thoroughly crush my suspension of disbelief, one of the antagonists used chloroform on a rag multiple times to knock out his victims—one of the worst tropes in the industry!

Then page one was pure setting with elaborate descriptions of buildings/rooms, written in passive voice with too many short, choppy sentences. Sam’s ex-wife Hannah Hampton is able to shed further light on the unlikely coincidences, and soon both embark on a road-trip to Winson to further investigate the mystery behind these injustices. A foster kid in Los Angeles suddenly decides to up and leave his foster home, catching a bus heading east.Some character build ups were far too long for the denoument, some far too involved for their part in the story. The start followed classic Reacher lines, but from there it descended into a 'This happens, then this happens, then this happens, then the end'. The story does contain a few familiar Reacher elements: He manages to acquire a female sidekick (yet another Frances Neagley surrogate. In the US he drives a supercharged Jaguar, which was built in Jaguar's Browns Lane plant, thirty yards from the hospital in which he was born. During his tenure his company made Brideshead Revisited, The Jewel in the Crown, Prime Suspect, and Cracker.
