Can't believe I'm giving a 1-star to Lee Child....
Like many of the other reviewers, I've read every bit of Lee Child available. I often look at November as "New Reacher month."
This short story was just trash. Many of us have purchased Reacher short stories in the past. This is not the same. This is written more like a fan is trying their hand at writing for the first time... and they've got 30 minutes or less to complete a story. There is no richness of detail, no character development, no careful weaving of the plot (and yes, all of these are present in previous Reacher short stories).
Bottom line, if I read something supposedly by an author I've read dozens of titles from and come away thinking *I* could have written that better, it's a problem.
I know it is just $2, but unless you've literally read everything else authored by Lee Child *and* are slightly OCD in your need to be a completist, skip this entirely.
