Our view
“Worth Dying For” puts Reacher in a small community held down by fear and handles it with unusual assurance. Some long-time readers rank it the best of the series, pointing to a plot that keeps moving and more humour than usual. Its subject is cruelty, and the fright that lets cruelty last a generation. Some note that the setting resembles earlier books, and some advise reading the series in order.
