Okay, so I just finished 'In Too Deep' and wow—classic Reacher energy! The action scenes had me flipping pages like a maniac, especially that highway diner fight? *chef's kiss*. But honestly, sometimes the plot felt like it was held together with duct tape. Like, why would the FBI ignore obvious clues? Suspension of disbelief, I guess.
Also, can we talk about Reacher’s tech illiteracy? Dude’s been out of the army for ages—how has he not picked up *anything* about smartphones? At this point, it’s less 'quirky trait' and more 'plot convenience.' Still, the twist with the scam ring was *chef’s kiss*—did NOT see that coming.
Side note: The co-authoring dynamic is… noticeable. The prose lacks that razor-sharp Lee Child edge, and Reacher’s violence felt oddly gratuitous in spots. Not his usual ‘justice with a side of wit’ vibe. But hey, it’s Reacher—I’ll take what I can get. Solid 3.5/5 for me.
