Our view
“The Midnight Line” is a Jack Reacher mystery in which the loner works alongside others, a change that gives the twenty-second book its own flavour. Some readers find it slower than the rest of the series, with a good deal of waiting and less action than they want from Reacher. It is one for followers of the character more than for newcomers, who have twenty-one earlier books to start with.
