As a stand alone tale, it was well written, wildly complex, and followed the Reacher model well. It just isn’t Jack Reacher, though. If you want a mentally satisfying spy story, this book works well. If you’re looking for an extension of Reacher’s fight for the little guy and hard justice , you will be disappointed. This book is written close to the style of Lee Child. Jack Reacher, who never appears in the book, is used as a come on to attract his readers. The story is fast paced with an FBI agent who seems unable to control her emotions or her life. With a car or plane she races from scene to scene. Where would the story be without Reacher? sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

In a few words:
Agents Kim Otto and Carlos Gasper are assigned to search for a man named Jack Reacher and tasked with conducting a thorough background investigation but first they have to locate him. They are sent to his last known location: Margrave, Georgia, a small town where Jack was last seen. The off the book undercover assignment is to be completed under the radar. The facts were that no one knew for certain where he was, more likely he didn’t want to be found.
My thoughts:
There is a lot going on in this novel as the two agents try to gather some Intel on Jack. Not to long after reaching Margrave they are drawn into a current conflict and pulled into another mission while trying to stay under the radar. It has a lot of action, more than one body, a bombing and blackmail material. Shuttling back and forth along the US seaboard and a hop to Europe they realize fast enough that the stakes are high.
If you expect Jack Reacher (Lee Child’s character) to show up you will be disappointed, her never does. His name comes up many times and some sightings maybe; maybe not... he is a ghost, maybe not. The two FBI are always looking for him and the story continuously alludes to this mystery man. The narrative throughout is bogged down in minutia and is very choppy: the chapters are short and paragraphs even shorter making this a very fast read. You have to suspend beliefs to enjoy this story it lacks substance and character development. Otto and Gasper are horrible FBI agents; they make snap judgments and assume Reacher is behind all those heinous and horrible crimes. The story is illogical, contrived and poorly written and filled with gaping holes.
IMO: Ms. Capri companion series of books "Hunt for Reacher" is better left on the self. ( )
