Our view
“Persuader” is an atypical Jack Reacher novel: less a mystery than an undercover job driven by unfinished business from his army days. The seventh book returns to first-person narration and opens with a jolt, and its action is written with the series’ usual precision. Opinion divides over the rest: some readers find it tight from start to finish, others a conventional thriller in which too little happens.
