"Claire Cook has a perfect life. Married to the scion of a political dynasty, with a Manhattan townhouse and a staff of ten, her surroundings are elegant, her days flawlessly choreographed, and her future auspicious. But behind closed doors, nothing is quite as it seems. That perfect husband has a temper that burns as bright as his promising political career, and he's not above using his staff to track Claire's every move, making sure she's living up to his impossible standards. But what he doesn't know is that Claire has worked for months on a plan to vanish.

"A chance meeting in an airport bar brings her together with a woman whose circumstances seem equally dire. Together they make a last-minute decision to switch tickets ― Claire taking Eva's flight to Oakland, and Eva traveling to Puerto Rico as Claire. They believe the swap will give each of them the head start they need to begin again somewhere far away..."  --from the publisher

Great page turner! Intriguing plot and interesting characters. I really enjoyed it, and gasped out loud at one revelation. There are a few weak points, but not weak enough to tarnish the story. I give it four out of five stars.

Jack Reacher is at again!  Jack is a former military police detective, now he is a loner and a drifter.  He hitches a ride with a beautiful young woman in Texas.  She is the mother of beautiful little girl... and she has quite a story to tell. She married into the wrong family, they're a bitter and miserly clan. Now her husband is getting released from prison.  She needs help and she asks Reacher to help her and her young daughter.  This story has twists, turns, good guys and lots of bad guys.  Reacher is such an awesome, tough, honest character and in my minds eye, very handsome!!
