I like Jack Reacher best when he knows who the bad guys are and kicks ass all throughout the book instead of only concentrated ass kicking at the beginning and end. In this book, Jack Reacher is first hired by his dead brother's ex-girlfriend to do a security audit for the Secret Service to see how vulnerable the Vice President-Elect is. He does. He finds holes because he is, of course, way smarter than the Secret Service. He subsequently starts 'consulting' with the Secret Service to see who is threatening the Vice President and subsequently starts sleeping with his dead brother's ex-girlfriend. I was disappointed in Jack Reacher because I didn't want him to go down that road. But he did. In typical Jack Reacher fashion, he was completely honest with her and said, "We both know how this is going to end." But who can resist the Jack Reacher? Certainly not me.
