The Midnight Line by Lee Child


The Midnight Line by Lee Child - 384 pages
Jack Reacher Book 22
- Published 11/7/17

I was fortunate to score an advance reader copy of this book via NetGalley.  This book finds Reacher still living his nomadic existence and he stumbles across a West Point class ring in a pawn shop in Wisconsin which leads him on a cross country odyssey to reunite the ring with its owner.  Reacher wants to satisfy his curiosity about what caused the owner to give up the ring.  His quest leads him into the dark underbelly of the opiod epidemic that has destroyed so many communities. 

This is another solid entry in a very popular franchise.  My minor quibble was that I was thrown out of the story just a little bit when at two different times adult American characters had to explain what Bigfoot is to other adult characters which to me seems like it is common knowledge.
