Our view
“Night School” shows a more cerebral Reacher: still in the Army, working a case in Germany with a team. Some readers welcome this return to his earlier days; others miss the action and find the book talky and repetitive, and some feel his conclusions rest on leaps of logic. The twenty-first novel in the series, it differs from those in which he works alone.
