Pure thriller bubblegum. First one i recall where Reacher doesn't sleep with a main character.

However well paced, the premise is the worst of the Reachers so far. The idea that a survivor of the Soviet gulags has set up a cement kickback scheme in rural Indiana, and that it's lucrative enough to kill 6 people over, along with an elaborate scheme to involve a soldier, making him repeat a crime he committed 20 years earlier so that he'd be blamed? Not to mention the timelines don't add up. But if you can suspend disbelief, it's a fun ride.
