Our view
“Make Me” keeps to the Reacher formula of small town, hidden menace and a woman at his side, then takes its plot somewhere less expected. Some readers who felt the series had grown tired find this twentieth book a step up. Others call it run-of-the-mill, short on thrills and on characters to care about, and some feel the dialogue drags. A safe choice for anyone who already likes Reacher.
