Blue Moon: An unputdownable Jack Reacher thriller from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author

I love Reacher, but now I have to wait until these are in a bargain bin before I buy another. In this book, the set pieces were so stupid. Reacher gets lucky over and over and faces idiots who just run in front of his bullets. The Author seems to get so bored even he stops bothering to describe the fight scenes. "In the end it was inevitable. They all died." That is almost exactly how a scene ends. The Author needs to go write something else for a few years or a long break and come up with a better story.

Laughably bad. Where once Jack reacher relied on his wits, cunning, skill, size and luck to survive, he now relies on some of the most arbitrary plot devices and script armour you ever come across as he and his random rag-tag bunch of civilians happily murder even the lowest level criminals. Lazy.

Feels like it was written by and for a Republican-voting boomer, replete with references to memes like: Fake news. Russophobia. Tough on crime. Washington Post / MSM worship. Rugged individualism. Etc. At least it inadvertently makes a good case for Medicare for All. Still, it's a reacher novel - so an easy to read and good distraction.
