This is my 6th or 7th Jack Reacher novel. Just as good as always, maybe even better. I get the impression that, over the years, Mr. Child has either got better editors or developed a finer knack for writing. Not that I was ever offended by his attempts, but this book seemed like a more finely tuned piece than all the others I have read.
Reacher witnesses a 'suicide' on the train and is quickly drawn into a scandal that goes as deep as the DOD, CIA, DIA, and FBI.(shocker)
With great precision, the mind of the former MP is unspooled for the reader, giving them a capable grasp of all the multitudinous minutae that is sifted and categorized through his perceptions.
Perhaps there was a bit of predictability with the bullet count near the end of the book but, nonetheless, it was a great read. 600 pages gone in 3 days.
I hope I find another Child novel soon.
