High heat by Lee Child

"High heat" by Lee Child. The book was published by Transworld digital in 2013 and has 79 pages. This is a Novella from Jack Reacher series.   

A serial killer is killing couples sitting in car. Jack Reacher, 17, is back to US from Korea and witnesses s man molest and slap a woman. He confronts and defeats him. It turns out he is a mobster. He picks up a college girl for date when mobster attacks. The city plunges in darkness to loss of power. 

Will the mobster kill Jack? Can Jill be absolved of the accusations? Will the serial killer be apprehended?

The story is not good. It had a lot of ingredients but the final product is bad. Too many questions. How can a 16-17 year boy know all? How can he devise a plan like a professional? How does he find Jill so easily? Why kill one of the protagonist? What is the significance of heat to the story?

Generally when a novella is written by an author in an ongoing series, it is done for a reason, to bridge a gap. What did this book achieve?

It's a small book and author spends a lot of page space explaining which roads and turns and intersections Reacher took to go from one place to another.

What I didn't like? Everything. 

What did I like? Nothing.
