Summary

“Step aside Jack Reacher, there is a new action hero in town and his name is Grant Fletcher!” (Once upon a Time Book Blog)

Sometimes it takes a stranger to find a killer....

In a small farming town in rural Wisconsin - where generations of families have lived in peace for decades - no one expects trouble to come calling. 

But then a farmer’s beautiful young wife is found brutally murdered, with a chilling calling card that suggests she’s just the first victim of a serial killer. And the FBI elects not to send one of their own. Instead they send a stranger to town - former Royal Marine turned mercenary Grant Fletcher. And they’re giving him no choice. Find the killer. Because we know what you’ve done. 

With the threat of the executioner’s chair hanging over him, Fletcher finds himself in an impossible situation - and a race against time. Catch a murderer whose killings are escalating with every day that passes. Or face certain death....

Fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne, and David Baldacci’s Amos Decker will love the Grant Fletcher series.

Hoping for a Jack reacher variant. Dashed.

Not enough action, too much talking about detail that is trivia and not informative or relevant.
The character is not ruthless enough, he has too many sensibilities that limit him. He's like a politically correct, woke, Jack reacher. Not a good mix at all, this makes his actions annoyingly hesitant and irritatingly causes him to lose his advantages.
I.e. in one desperate situation not snapping a neck, or another when just few feet behind a serial killer, not just shooting.
All the talk of being a tough guy, and trained fighter. Just isn't born out. The Grant character is frequently too close to losing fights and this with distinctly normal people.
The first book was hard, going but i thought the writer would let the character grow and develop. Unfortunately the second book was much the same.
Finally the plot is too obvious, no real mystery. All of this just emphasises to me how good Lee Child actually is as an author.
