Reception.
"Publishers Weekly" called it "riveting" and a "nail-biter".
"Kirkus Reviews" stated that the novel had "the best premise for a Reacher novel in some time" — and emphasized that this was an indicator that "something has gone off in the series", criticizing the exposition and Child's techniques for depicting violence.
The "Hindustan Times" found it to be not Child's best work, but nonetheless "engaging and diverting", and noted that its "sense of sameness" (compared to the other books in the series) was "comforting".
In the "Evening Standard", Mark Sanderson called it "morality pornography", with the action sequences being "operatic, almost comedic"; in particular, Sanderson faulted Abby the waitress for having "all the personality of a sexbot".
