The Affair by Lee Child


The Affair by Lee Child, Thriller, 405 pages.
Lee Child has it all down to a science. Reacher rolls in to town, gets some coffee, headbutts an angry local, and breaks the arm of a second angry local. The police object or sometimes applaud, depending on how much they are colluding with the angry locals. Then the real fun starts. There is usually an attractive female victim, or member of the law enforcement, for Reacher to comfort and confide in too. This one takes place in 1997 and Reacher is sent into a small Mississippi town that is next to a small, secretive Army base to find out whether soldiers or civilians are killing local women.
Child is well in his stride, a good solid Reacher novel, and as this is the sixteenth such, you get what you expect.
