Lee Child- 61 Hours (Dell Books 2010) 4.25 Stars

When the bus that Reacher is on crashes in South Dakota, Reacher finds himself stuck in the middle of nowhere. Tension seems to be rising in the small town of Bolton as the police face off against a drug ring. When he finds a little old lady being threatened for what she has seen, he knows that he cannot let it go. Now he finds himself stuck in the middle of something he has no business being involved in.

This was a little bit of a slower start than I am used to with Child, but it was developing the story to the intensity it was going to reach. I did like the characters in this book, as I usually do with this author, and of course Reacher is great to see develop little by little throughout the series. The plot was also great as per usual; it had lots of great twists and turns. I did see the big twist coming a long way off and might have preferred if it had been less obvious. The setting was good as well; it was nice to see a book written in an area of the States that you don’t see very much. Overall it was a great read and I would recommend this to thriller lovers.
