I loved the original Reacher books, but stopped reading them when Lee Child turned writing over to his brother. I tried this one because of the 4.2 reviews, but I wouldn't give it more than 3.0. How many times can Reacher slug a bad guy and knock him out. Otherwise minimal, marginally integrated plots and characters.

First Reacher book that I didn't bother to finish.

Fast moving and fast reading. 4.5 stars.

Another good Arkady Renko novel set in Russia, Ukraine and Crimea. I would give it 4.5 stars.

Easy read, but not nearly as good as past Coben books. Plot and characters missing something.
