I missed the release of this, so it was a nice surprise when I realized it was out already. It's a typical Reacher. But after so many books, 23 apparently, it starts to get a bit old. I don't remember how the non-Reacher characters spoke in earlier books. In this one everybody talks like Reacher. And I found it a tad annoying. The story itself was nice, though. Like I said earlier, a typical Reacher. He's in some small town in the US, runs afoul of the local bully and wanders into some evil people doing evil things and puts an end to it. But I think by now I just read these books out of habit. There's just no development.
