The Hard Way -- Lee Child

This book was interesting -- not in a thought provoking, brain filling way, but in an 'I want to read a mindless thriller type book, because I am bored' type way. I liked it pretty well, though. It was a mystery about a man named Jack Reacher. Lee Child writes novels with this same man as her protagonist everytime. This is the first of them I have read, but there are 10 predecessors. The basic plotline was that a mercenary's wife and child had been kidnapped, and he hired Reacher to do find her. As Reacher digs into the man's past, though, he finds that it is possible that this might not be a kidnapping of the man's wife and stepdaughter, but a plot, much like the one that had rid Lane (the mercenary) of his previous wife a few years before....
