Ags, I have given up on Mr. Reacher for a wee while, as I find them all following the same format. He walks, he gets lifts into trouble, he gets hooked up with single women, he knocks lumps off every guy he meets even if they are 9ft 11ins, he solves everything as though he was Paul Daniels-just like that, hauls off and on more clothes than a string of super models at Milan Week, then waddles off looking for another lift.
I got part way through Echo Burning before I threw a hissy fit, and that was the week of the power cut. No wonder I resorted to cold showers.
