Nothing happens.
The plot is straight forward. Reacher is hitchhiking, and that leads him to the woods with some people that want to go hiking. The MP's show up and block it off, and Reacher wants to know why.
Here's what happens: Reacher hitchhikes, meets people, eat with them, rents a cabin, told he can't go in the woods by some MP's, Reacher and some woman does, finds out why the woods are being blocked off. That's it....nothing happens. Not a thing. Then when we find out what's in the woods, I was like....what??? That's it??? This book is nothing but filler. It has page after page, after page what useless info.
Over the past couple of Reacher books, and short stories, I've lost a lot of respect for Lee Child. He seems to be going through the motions now, and not giving his stories a lot of thought. I'm a *huge* Jack Reacher fan, and I don't like what Child is doing to the character of Reacher.
I know one thing, won't be buying any more Reacher books, I'll get them at the library.
Don't even waste your time with this one, nothing happens.
