This is another in the Jack Reacher series. This one goes back in time a bit to 1997 and gives some explanation to why Reacher left the army, but not really why he became a wanderer.
The novel follows the usual pattern of Reacher coming to a small town. This time he is investigating as an MP the deaths of some very pretty women near an army base in the south of the USA. He hooks up with a very pretty policewoman and together they set traps to try and catch the perpetrator.
The action also switches to the Pentagon at times and Lee Child makes reference to 9/11 and the comparisons of pre this time.
The novel for me is a bit slow and it took me weeks to finish reading this book. It filled in a bit of background but as a book I found it a bit slow and ponderous. The series seems a bit tired now, time for a change?
7/10 for me.
