The Midnight Line: A Jack Reacher Novel by Lee Child
3.0
Average Reacher at best. A lack of action set pieces in this really left me not loving it. The story is good, though and I like the take on modern drug trafficking. A shoehorned "love" scene in the last five pages also ruined what I hoped would be the first Jack Reacher story I've read without an obligatory romance. Why not just have strong female characters who aren't desperately in love with Reacher? That's one thing I really enjoyed about the movies, no forced relationships between Reacher and the female leads.
