'The Affair' by Lee Child
'The Affair' by Lee Child

The good

  • As usual, a fun and gripping opening scene.
  • Some genuinely laugh-out-loud moments. The McKinney cousins and Francis Neagley are particularly hilarious.
  • Decent detective work.
  • Interesting to see the relationship between the US Army, Marines, and a small US town.
  • We get to see an important chapter in Jack Reacher’s military career.

The not so good

  • This book drags a little bit towards the end.
  • The way Reacher “resolves” some of the problems in this one is a bit… questionable.
