It's tough being a high-flying woman in the Army. Very tough. When Sergeant Amy Callan and Lieutenant Caroline Cook are found dead in their own homes—in baths filled with Army-issue camouflage paint, their bodies completely unmarked—Jack Reacher is under suspicion. He knew them both—and he knows that they both left the Army under dubious circumstances, both victims of sexual harassment. A former U.S. military policeman, a loner and a drifter, he matches the psychological profile prepared by the FBI, and is arrested by ambitious Special Agent, Julia Lamarr.
My Thoughts: Jack Reacher is at it again. This time he gets roped in to something pretty huge against his will. The fourth in Reacher's series is just as quick and easy to read as the last three, and again, I found it very tricky to put down.
Having said this, The Visitor didn't quite hit the same mark as the last books for me - this one is more of a "whodunnit" and has less of Reacher muscling his way about banging heads together for results (which is what I love most about his over-the-top mountain of a character). It keeps you guessing right until the very last pages however, and although the conclusion also didn't cut it for me, the suspense was brilliant. A must read for Reacher fans, but perhaps shouldn't be the first choice for those not familiar with the series.
I RATED THIS 8/10
