Book Review of Die Trying (Jack Reacher, Bk 2)

Die Trying (Jack Reacher, Bk 2)

I can't say I am a "Jack Reacher" fan, but I did enjoy the book. It's because I'm not really into "conspiracy novels." Murders are more my style. At least this novel didn't have an international conspiracy, which I really can't get into. I liked the first book more than this one.

As for the reviews here which warn you about this series being short---"Die Trying" is only book two in the series---that is old news, as those reviews are almost 20 years old. I think this series is approaching 30 books now.

I did find one plot hole which was unexplained. The two sets of carpenters who built the prison were never reported missing. If you are going away on a job and expected to be away for several days, wouldn't you tell your family where you were going and who you were going to work for? This would have been a great clue for the FBI when the families reported them missing.
