I DNFed Without Fail by Lee Child. First Jack Reacher book I've managed to dislike. I managed to get about 50% through it before I bailed. It just was going nowhere, they kept just talking about the comings and goings of the vice president, very boring.
Next, I read The Gray Man by Mark Greaney. This was an okay read. The main protagonist seemed to vacillate between an uber-terminator and a normal injured man on the run a lot. The plot was a bit far-fetched, but it was a decent popcorn thriller. 3/5 stars.
On to Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett which most people here likely are familiar with, and also A Study in Crimson by Robert J. Harris - Bringing Sherlock Holmes from the Victorian Era into the dark days of World War II, this imaginative new thriller confronts the world’s greatest detective with a killer emulating the murders of Jack the Ripper.
