I love Lee Child and the Jack Reacher series, but this one didn't do anything for me. It felt false and forced from the beginning. I found the characters plastic and their actions unrealistic. The plot held too many coincidences. I know Mr. Child was attempting to set the scene with his descriptions, but by the end of the story, I was sick of hearing how much everyone was sweating. Reading it, I had the feeling Mr. Child dashed off a short story as fast as he could to promote his next full-length novel. And that's just cheating the reader.
