Query: Lacking Suspense

I had to force myself to finish this book. The cheapskate side of me did not want to throw money down the drain. There was a profound lack of intrigue and suspense for a "suspense thriller." The characters lacked depth and were very one dimensional. The antagonist of the story has a hook--I find this to be very comical. Jack Reacher is a character without any real human flaws--every pseudo flaw the author tries to introduce is quickly rationalized or explained into niceness--thus loosing the attempted effect. Practicaly every other chapter described how big and manly Jack is and how small, and petite his lady partner is. This is a "Harlequin" style story for men. The story did not inspire me to care about what happens to any of the characters--which is critical in a suspense novel.
