Our view
“Blue Moon” is Jack Reacher exactly as his readers know him: a stranger in town, one small kindness, and a far bigger fight waiting behind it. The writing is brisk and easy to follow, and this time the opponents are Eastern European mobsters. Some readers find Reacher more violent here than in earlier books, killing when he need not. Twenty-fourth in the series, it delivers a Reacher novel to those who want precisely that.
