unmitigated crap. 
 early in the book, he described a woman as having "glowing skin" This had me thinking she was casting shadows everywhere she went. Reacher was boning her by chapter 3. 
 Then, he caught sight of another woman's midrift, which looked like "a turtle's back". So, she has an exoskeleton? 
 The same woman with the mutant turtle back abdomen later came out of her hotel with tight pants that made her ass look so fantastic that everyone was transfixed by it. They later caught a bad guy because he gave himself away by NOT looking at her ass. 
 It is difficult to describe how ham-handed all the descriptive filler is and how unresearched everything is. For example, some action takes place on a beet farm in north-western Minnesota, which is described as "hilly".
