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.

Great Story But Irritating

When this story first starts, Reacher is working in Florida and staying in one place longer than in any other book in the series. That alone was interesting. Then a few guys show up and start asking questions about how to find him - and they are asking Reacher himself. Now, that was the interesting part - after having read the other books I would have thought he might just be interested, but no. No interest until one of the characters winds up dead. So, Reacher goes in search of the "who wanted to find him" - and man is that pretty cool!!! This book is sort of a carry over from the last book, and you can see why certain things happen - but then you are left hanging at the end as to how he resolves the situation - because there are things I have not heard about in any of the other books I have listened to. BUT not having listened to Book 4 yet - maybe the answer is in there. LOL

Great story, great characters, interesting plot, some unwavering belief from Reacher, and the chance for some stability and maybe happiness - and that's what needs answered in one of the future reads I will do. I like this book a great deal because of the chance to learn much more about Reacher's past, especially in the military. You can not go wrong buying and reading this book!!!!

Narrator sounds bored

I love 5he Jack Reacher books. The first 2 were great but I tuned out occasionally due to bored sounding narrator.

Great story. Very unhappy with the reader's Reache

I didn't care for this narrator's version of Jack Reacher. Made Reacher sound very smug
