Worth Dying For

There’s deadly trouble in the corn country of Nebraska . . . and Jack Reacher walks right into it. First he falls foul of the Duncans, a local clan that has terrified an entire county into submission. But it’s the unsolved case of a missing child, already decades old, that Reacher can’t let go.

The Duncans want Reacher gone—and it’s not just past secrets they’re trying to hide. They’re awaiting a secret shipment that’s already late—and they have the kind of customers no one can afford to annoy. For as dangerous as the Duncans are, they’re just the bottom of a criminal food chain stretching halfway around the world.

For Reacher, it would have made much more sense to keep on going, to put some distance between himself and the hard-core trouble that’s bearing down on him. For Reacher, that was also impossible.

After liking the first book in this series, I decided to carry on with whichever book I could get from the library right away, which was this one. It’s 15th in the series but I’m fairly certain they can be read out of order.

I just love Reacher finding baddies and taking them out without letting them have a villain monologue. He doesn’t care what they have to say for themselves and he doesn’t waste time. He’s efficient!

The rural, claustrophobic-feeling small town setting really worked for me. While the story got repetitive, with Reacher and various characters driving back and forth from the same spots over and over, I flew threw this one because I couldn’t wait to see Reacher give the villains what they had coming to them.

This was a really fun read, and I’m looking forward to reading more of this series!
