Critic reviews

"Brings to mind the knight-errant adventures of John D. McDonald's Travis McGee." (Booklist)

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Good book ruined

Love the story and the overall of the book was great. The reader can make it irritating.

The first is often one of the best

Nice to know how Jack started his roam. So totally enjoyed this book and even though I have read many other Jack Teacher books it is great to know there are more to enjoy.

Good book but some strange quirks from Lee Child

I have listened to all of the Jack Reacher books. In a few of the books, Lee Child takes an idea and just repeats it over and over again until I am completely annoyed with it. In Tripwire, he'd have a character say something, then repeat exactly what they said and note "he said again". If you were to count the phrase "said again", I'll bet you would find them 1,000 times in the book. And count only the word "again", I"ll bet that repeated at least 2,000 times.

I still enjoyed the story and the performance, I'm just surprised a reader or editor, no one made a comment on this and fixed it before it was published.

Excellent story read excellently

Nice twist near the end, but logical once you think back on all the clues. Loved the love interest aspect of this story, especially after the last Reacher novel in which he loses a woman who is clearly a soulmate. Some of the exposition about 80% through the story got a bit long in the tooth, but what comes after makes it worth slogging through.
Narrator is fantastic. Does lots of different accents and female voices in ways that work seamlessly. See if you don't agree that his effect on the character of Victor Hobie is genius.

Captivating

Love the series and the narration. Captivating listen with details that make you feel as if you're a part of the story. Can do without the music still playing when the story starts.
