I read all the Jack Reacher books a couple years ago, and one of the fascinating things about the character is his aversion to owning things. In some of the books, he talks about it a little and it’s an interesting insight to that worldview. I think they kind of stopped talking about it in newer books, and the character has gotten kind of less interesting because of it. At one point, he inherits a house, and that seems to become a minor trauma for him!

this is the first thing i’ve ever heard about this franchise that makes me at all interested in checking it out.

If that’s the reason why, I would skip it. They don’t spend a lot of time on it. Plus, in the early books there’s some unnecessary cringe parts where they felt the need to shoehorn “love interest” into the story. In general, they’re decent “boss battle” books. Easy reads that aren’t going to make you think. Beach reads for guys, I guess.
