Query: A Starter Book in the Reacher series..........

I read this book because of the movie. I went to Mr.Child's web site and saw he had a rather extensive series based on the Jack Reacher character. I decided to start with this one as it was listed as the first book in the series. I was tempted to put it down early but kept with it until the end. It did get better as the book went on but at the start the plot was weak and then certain facts changed about Reacher's background for no apparent reason. I may try the next book in the series, Die Trying, I think, to see if there is any more improvement.
