Review: Echo Burning

Set in baking hot Texas, Echo Burning sees Reacher asked to kill a woman's husband upon his return from prison. In this review, Jamie explains what Reacher does next, how Echo Burning presents different visions of America and why the book, written in 2001, is oddly prescient in its themes. He describes how Lee Child balances an atmospheric sense of place, serious themes and some of the funniest moments in the series.
