Jack Reacher finds trouble in Texas in the fifth novel in Lee Child’s New York Times bestselling series. Thumbing across the scorched Texas desert, Jack Reacher has nowhere to go and all the time in the world to get there. Cruising the same stretch of two-lane blacktop is Carmen Greer. For Reacher, the lift comes with a hitch. Carmen’s got a wild story to tell—all about her husband, her family … about her husband, her family secrets, and a hometown that’s purely gothic. She’s also got a plan. Reacher’s part of it. And before the sun sets, this ride could cost them both their lives.

Jack Reacher is one of my favorite characters along with Travis McGee (John McDonald books). My only problem….I create a “movie” in my mind when I read, and I have been unable to replace Tom Cruise as Jack!
For those who like Reacher, like me, it is spot on.
Reacher books are not to be missed, and even though I always think I’ve read them all, there is always another. Echo burning plays with your emotions while deciding whether the characters are good or bad…and keeps the reader waiting til the end to find out which of the truly despicable characters is the real killer in this remote area of rednecks.
Jack Reacher novels are so page turning, can’t wait to figure out what Jack has planned that you forget to stop reading. He is amazing, skilled and focused on saving the underdog. How they put the troll, Tom Cruise, in his movies is unfathomable! He doesn’t fit Reacher’s size, look or attitude. I’ve read every single Reacher novel and look forward to each new installment!
Kind of a slow book. Enjoyed it.
I have enjoyed all the Reacher series
great book
Love the Reacher Series. I’ve read all of them!
Lee Child is a gift to the most voracious of the mystery fans!
Another excellent Jack Reacher book. Thoroughly enjoyed the book.
Reacher is simply the best tough guy out there.
Thank you Reacher is not the little shrimp tom cruise. Reacher is more of a real man. Tall, strong, helpful, what a real hero looks like. The pages seem to turn themselves without any finger action. When I read Child, I am in the action, I feel parts of myself feeling the heat, the cold, the hunger.
There is so much great word-pictures.
You will not sleep reading this, but you will not feel tired. Energized is my take after a night of being with Reacher.
C’mon, it’s Reacher. What’s not to like?
I thought I was up to date on the Reacher series, saw this one and hadn’t read it before. It my be my favorite, so far.
Thanks Lee Child. Heck of a series. Heck of a good-read.
Reacher fans will not be disappointed
Repetitive and tiresome
It’s Jack Reacher, fun to read, good escape time.
Just as all of the Jack Reacher series books are page turners, this one was no exception.. However, only 4 stars on this one. The story premise regarding one of the heroines was a bit far-fetched, including how jack and her first met.
Love Jack Reacher books!
As always a great read by Lee Child and his unforgettable and entertaining character Jack Reacher.
