Make Me is the twentieth book in
the Jack Reacher’s series, and to me it one of the weakest stories.
Reacher is ex-Military Police but
is now a nomad who goes from town to town just for his own amusement, but
wherever he goes trouble inevitably follows him.
In Make Me, Reacher by way of
train finds himself in Mother’s Rest. He
got off the train at that particular stop because he was interested in the name
of the town – why would a town be called Mother’s Rest - Reacher wanted to know
the story behind the town. He was curious and as we all know curiosity can get
us into trouble.
Reacher’s visit to Mother’s Rest
sees him bumping into a private detective who is investigating the
disappearance of another private detective.
The story sees them going to different
places in America in order to discover the truth – the truth of the detectives
disappearance and to find out what is actually happening in Mother’s Rest. And like other Reacher novels, a lot of
violence happens in order to get to the truth. A truth which doesn’t want to be
found out.
For me, Make Me is not a strong
story, it did not have me hooked as other Reacher novels did. However, I will
continue to read the Reacher novels as the man is captivating and I do want to
know what happens next in his life.
