I enjoy Lee Child books but find his character development boring and predictable. Recently reading ‘The Enemy,’ I found myself skimming through the parallel story of Reacher’s dying mother and stiff uncomfortable brother. I’ll continue to read his books for the suspense but I’m always on the lookout for a new author that offers better character development. I would prefer a less perfect central character and would also be interested in finding the name of the book dnashby is writing of (2 posts up.) Sounds suspiciously like 'Newman's Rubicon.' Self-published. A great central character and story. A few grammatical errors but worth the read.
