A short, short on the new "Jack Reacher" novel by Lee Child

I'm 65 pages into the new "Reacher" novel by Lee Child. The title is Affair, and I'm loving it so far. I like the way the author has everything set up.

It's 1997 and Reacher has to investigate a murder off an Army base while being undercover. The local sheriff is female and a former Marine. Oh, she was also with the Provost Office (military police) while in the Corp, which pretty makes her Reacher's equal. Needless to say, our slightly tarnished hero is already falling for her. I hope she's still alive by the end of the novel.

I should also point out that the Army base is the home for an elite group of Rangers, which leaves open all sorts of possibilites. Reacher may have his hands full with the killer, if the guy's an Army Ranger.

More coming in the review this weekend.
