It tells the story of a group of RAF comrades from national service who meet up again at a reunion in a scottish castle, where they escaped punishment if they agreed to go on an education program from a series of minor crimes committed. Having read all of the Reacher books, I was one of those who cried "What??!!" when Cruise was cast as Reacher, but I changed my tune when I saw the first Reacher movie. I thought Cruise carried it off well. Reacher fights, aiming to find Turner and clear his name, barely a step ahead of the army, and the FBI, and the D.C. Metro police, and four unidentified thugs. Principal photography on the film began on October 20, 2015, in New Orleans, Louisiana.

What's even more damning about this book is as I reached the (non!) end - where nothing really happens, strangely enough..... - I had the feeling that I may actually have read this before - but I barely remembered a thing about it. Which has a scarily weird tie in with one of the very confused plot lines..... As soon as he does two musclemen, clearly military men out of uniform, arrive at the motel and tell Reacher to get out of town, promising that no one will come looking for him if he does, and that they will beat the crap out of him if he refuses to do so. Following Harkness' arrest, Turner is reinstated to her command. Reacher promises to keep in touch, then goes to meet Sam at a diner. He tells her he will recognize her mother, if he knows her, as he remembers every woman he has slept with. Samantha reveals that the waitress that had been serving him is, in fact, her mother, so Reacher cannot be her father, as neither had recognized the other. Reacher is there to meet—in person—the new commanding officer, Major Susan Turner, so far just a warm, intriguing voice on the phone. Lord, I do love the analyses we get when Reacher is planning his moves. Do all fighters think this way? I’m curious.The trio goes to New Orleans in search of Daniel Prudhomme, the only eyewitness to the murders for which Turner has been framed. En route, Sam reveals that it was she who filed the paternity suit, to gain financial support from Reacher for her mother. The elephant in the corner is the change of narrator for this last book, it was not a good move for my shell-likes, especially when there was so much conversation calling for accent interpretation. Okay moving on, let's talk about the book: With this story Goddard takes a group of RAF veterans and brings them together for a reunion 50 years after they parted company. In their RAF days they were not flying aces, but troublesome rogues who, due to their attitudes were assigned to an educational experiment in a castle in Scotland. We later find out that this was a trial of a mind altering drug and that something happened while they were there – which none of them can recall – and which the reunion is in danger of bringing to the fore. Of course the authorities have to stop this becoming known using any means and this is where we start the twists and turns and false leads of a great Goddard story. For me I was also enthralled by the geography he chose (even with the soirees to Swindon) especially the final few chapters which were set in the city of Glasgow. But why he chose the Millennium Hotel is beyond me. It can only be because it fronts St George’s Square and so suited the plot (I do wish Glasgow City Council would compel the owners of that hotel to give it a facelift!!).

Although this is easy on the eye, and there are a lot of plot twists and turns, it's really hard to work out why exactly this whole book is happening - there doesn't seem to be a real crime, and there certainly doesn't appear to be any reason why anybody is running around (let alone two Septuagenarian amateur detectives/ spivs) looking for anyone, nor why anyone else would want to be bumping these people off. Combining an intricate puzzle of a plot and an exciting chase for truth and justice, Lee Child puts Reacher through his paces—and makes him question who he is, what he’s done, and the very future of his untethered life on the open road.

But can we puhlease? *sighs* Coz, I. Was. Fascinated!! Stiletto knives… *shivers*. I know my friends won’t be surprised in the least *snorts*. On top of that, there's a hell of a lot of running throughout the movie - I'm surprised they didn't run to the toilet. This, with the camera work and editing had a way of making the movie feel rushed.

There were a few times when I seriously considered not finishing the book, but this is Lee Child and Reacher, surely it can only get better? No, the writing was consistent throughout, it was boring and repetitive. The plot was weak, and every solution to every problem on both sides was just too convenient, unbelievably so on many occasions.
