Publisher's Summary

Reacher's anonymity in Florida is shattered by an investigator who's come looking for him. But hours after his arrival, the stranger is murdered. Retracing the PI's trail back to New York, Reacher's compelled to find out who was looking for him and why. He never expects the reasons to be so personal - and twisted.

Save your money

Very poor narration, story not believable. Have enjoyed many Reacher stories but this will go into the memories as the absolute worst.

Not as good as the movies

I freely admit I'm a bigger fan of the movies. This is the first of the Reacher series I've read/listened to. I didn't know what to expect. Frankly, I'm surprised by Reacher's character as being larger than life. I expected something different. I had the villain figured out early in the narrative and as others have stated the long, drawn-out descriptions become boring quickly. The story was okay but I wouldn't read it twice.

Over-descriptive text

Longer than it needs to be, thanks to the tedious descriptive. The story line is a bit obvious. Otherwise it's an entertaining read/listen.
The narrator does most voices OK; not so good with women's or seniors' voices.

More sad attempts with accents

The narrator is just horrible with his accents. Rather than Chinese, he true to sound Italian, but sounds like someone doing a stand up who isn’t Italian. Awful changes in his inflection & nasal voice as women.

Keeps you engrossed

Amazing twist at the end, excellent book. You won’t be able to use this book as “white noise” the story line is way too good.

One of the best Jack Reacher novels

I really like this narrator and the story kept you guessing minute to minute what the truth was. Good action and humor. One of my favorite Reacher books.

average at best

how to say the narrator has a great voice for reading but is not the best at reading. ignores a lot of punctuation, making it difficult sometimes to realize that he's switched the view point of the listener. wow what a sentence. also in chapter 13 there are a few audio glitches.
