Some local townspeople want to blame Muslims. The politicians want to blame guns. The outside media only care about the headlines.

Andrews AFB to Lakenheath is 3,600 miles. A five hour flight would have a top speed of around 800 mph Georgia Wells lives alone in a cottage in the Welsh countryside. While watching a news story about civil unrest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, she sees a man that she believes is her husband, who presumably died in a plane crash three years earlier. Still haunted by the past, Georgia travels to the Congo to find out the truth. It soon becomes apparent that Widow maybe the only one looking at the facts and not the assumptions. Gaining the trust of the people he will need to right this wrong won't be easy. There's a lot of tension and a case like this makes or breaks careers. Widow finds himself in Texas sitting at a steaming hot bus station waiting for a bus to someplace else. While waiting, he starts chatting with Claire, Hood, an elderly woman who looks rather distraught. She is looking for her missing granddaughter. Her son, who recently was released from prison has scooped her up and skipped town. Before Widow can get all the details, Claire drops dead of natural causes. In the first chapter, specifically, Widow's thoughts on gunshot wounds went on for too long—sum it up in a paragraph, keep it short and sweet so the tension is high. You've got what should be a beginning that starts with a bang, but it ends up fizzling out with needless tangents.Debnath, Neela (15 January 2019).

The implications of the reveal in that chapter had me scanning my memory banks of every Reacher book for the one, in particular, that would provide the answers to all the questions running through my mind. Afterward, Widow finishes his coffee and leaves the diner to find a motel bed to sleep on. By the time his head hits the pillow, the military police show up, banging on his door. They've got questions and handcuffs. In a year with tensions high regarding Muslim extremists, gun control, and police culture, the cops think that it's obvious that Marine Officer James Muhammad Turik was part of an ISIS cell.

Turns out that the US government needs Widow's help. He's the only man alive to ever survive an encounter with their only suspect: a whisper, a phantom, a ghost sniper, known as Rainmaker. Widow races against time to save an innocent girl and keep the President alive from enemies, both foreign and domestic. Towards the middle to end of this one makes me feel like the Incredible Hulk I used to watch on TV where at the end of every episode he would tell everyone thanks but no thanks and then head out of town which is exactly what our hero does. The concept here was really good, it was an interesting mystery but I had to take two stars off for wildly inaccurate claims about the firearms and ammunition as well as the many many times the hero did something fatal yet survived. announced the flight time of five hours and some change, and said they were flying to an American Air Force base in the UK called Lakenheath.

A deadly range. The world record for longest range of a sniper kill shot. Ever. No contest. No question. What happens when a new sniper comes along and takes out the world's top shooters from further away? Terror. There is a gentle mutual affection between Widow and another character, a painful past, and a high body count. And of course, there is the.... I think if Widow could have watched this from the sidelines like we readers do, he'd shake his head and say, "never let facts get in the way of a good story" but he doesn't have that luxury.

I’m at chapter 26. There’s no real story. 3 dead bodies, 1 severely wounded Deputy, a dozen missing girls and a completely racist, misogynistic, bigoted small town, with a blinkered Sheriff! I enjoyed this, but the prose seems a touch repetitive, and the location/costume descriptions are a bit over-egged. A bit more spare and the pacing would have been excellent. Taken-to-be a worthless drifter by the locals, Widow uses his skills to uncover the truth. What he finds is a distraught husband, a missing wife, and townspeople harboring a deadly secret--a secret they'll die to protect. But that's all I'll write on that. I did enjoy this book, and I really wanted to give it three stars, but there are too many technical errors and such. Weirdly enough it seemed the second half was more polished than the first half, and Widow seemed more believable as Blade got the hang of the character. The writing became tighter, too. I personally like the feeling of familiarity, the comfort of knowing that I'm in for an enjoyable read and I wasn't disappointed.

Did you read all of the above? Did it seem as if I went on and on without actually Saying anything? Or, did it seem as if I’d missed a pertinent point? Or went into too much detail? Yes? Well, brace yourself, there is A LOT of that in this book! Plus, the characters are all from The Deep South - so they speak slowly - I had to adjust the narration speed to 1.2 for it to seem normal for me! (I listened to the audiobook version of this title).
