Great debut novel by Lee Child. Really enjoyed the characters, plot and location.

Enjoyed getting to know Jack Reacher a little and look forward to eventually reading the rest of the series !

3.5 stars.
A great thriller, if excessively violent. The very chopy writing style keeps you moving forward and maintains a high degree of tension.
