Right to Kill (Nathan McBride, #6)

by Andrew Peterson

Nathan never judged people by the color of their skin, only by their actions.

This is the kind of heavy-handed reminder we constantly get in this book. The author keeps telling us how the good guys are indeed the good guys. They feel bad about every villain they shoot, every bone they break in the quest of freedom, every conscientious thought the heroes have is underlined and hammered home till the slowest reader gets it three times over. Lee Child did the "show, don't tell" right. We knew Reacher would stop to help a dog in trouble. We didn't have to be told "He always stopped to help a dog".
