23 // The Secret

The Secret by Lee Child and Andrew Child | *** | Another decent entry in the Jack Reacher series, this one is true to form: Good guy entounters a problem, which leads to a larger problem, which he solves by creating maximum pain for the bad guys and generally saving the day. No reader of the Reacher books will be surprised much in either direction by this story; it's a true-to-form simple leisure read. However, long-time readers may perceive a slight dip in overall snappiness of dialoge and narrative, likely due to Lee Child continuing to hand over more of the nuts and bolts of the process to his younger brother.
