Jack Higgins CD Collection: The White House Connection/Dark Justice/Without Mercy Book

3.5/5

At the individual level in sweaty gyms the thugs doing the training had pointed out that gentlemen who behaved decently weren't around to train anyone. They were already dead. Therefore: Hit early, hit hard.


Good, almost great.

As always happens when I pick up Lee Child's books, I was completely hooked and once I got into the story, I had real trouble putting it down. The moment I opened the first page, my curiosity was piqued immediately. I couldn't stop guessing and wondering what was really going on in Despair, why the locals acted so strange, and what secrets they were hiding.

I enjoyed reading this twelfth installment a lot, so much so that I thought I would give it five stars for certain. But unfortunately, by the end, it didn't quite hit its mark. The book left me with some unanswered questions and some of the answers I got were not what I expected. Let's just say, they were somewhat unclear which I found a bit unsatisfying.

So far, this one is my least favorite of Jack Reacher series.

However, despite that, I considered Nothing to Lose a good read. It had an interesting and gripping plot that moved forward at a nice pace. But most of all, Jack Reacher alone makes this book worth reading! Recommended for fans of suspense/mystery/thriller.
