One shot by Lee child

I have overdosed on Lee Child this last week, but I like his writting. Hard to put down. This is another Jack reacher book and I feel that in the last four books that I read JR is definetely more macho and show off-ish then in the more recent books. Am I right or is it my imagination?

Anyway, in this book, JR drops everything in Miami to come to Indiana and make sure that a former army sniper accused of killing 5 people in the rush hour goes down. But of course this is JR. things are not what they seem and he of course sorts everythnig out.

and here is the official review:

Jack Reacher is working on his tan with a Norwegian blonde on the beach in Miami. The weather is hot and he is so cool you could skate on him. But he doesn't like to stick around. He likes to be on the move. He was in the machine his whole life. Then the machine coughed and spat him out. Now he takes it easy. He's not looking for trouble. But sometimes trouble looks for Reacher.

A lone gunman hides in a parking garage and shoots into a crowd in a public plaza in a small Indiana city. Five random people die in a senseless massacre. The shooter leaves a perfect trail behind him and the police quickly track him down. His name is James Barr. It's a watertight case. After his arrest, James Barr refuses to talk. Then, to his lawyer, he utters a single phrase: "Get Jack Reacher for me." But Reacher's already on his way. What could connect this obvious psychopath with our wandering ex-army cop?

By the time Reacher hits town, Barr's been beaten badly enough to forget everything about the day in question. So Reacher begins to piece together the wealth of evidence; he does the math and comes to a few conclusions of his own.
