Deep Down (A Jack Reacher short story)

By: Lee Child

Narrated by: Kerry Shale

Brought to you by Penguin.

An original short story about Jack Reacher, available as a separate audiobook (also included in the complete Reacher story collection No Middle Name).

Early in his military career, Jack Reacher is ordered undercover in Washington, to discover which one of four women, all staff officers on fast track careers, is leaking secrets.

The suggested method: get close to each in turn.

The obvious problem: the most receptive will be the guilty one, with an agenda of her own ... to kill the investigation - and the investigator.

‘Child has somehow forged that magical grail: a new and believable hero... when we thought all the heroes had been written.’ Observer

I Wish Was A Full Novel!

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would recommend it if they liked a short story, however, I felt ripped off as I became engaged with the book and the story and the excellent narration,but then the book finished before I knew it! Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Would you be willing to try another book from Lee Child? Why or why not?

I would read another book by Lee Child and have, but not another short story, because the novel gives you a chance to enter into the bigger story, while the short story gets you in and pulls the rug from under you.

Have you listened to any of Kerry Shale’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. An outstanding narrator and well worth listening to future stories narrated by this narrator.

Did Deep Down inspire you to do anything?

Any additional comments?

Lee Child in conjunction with Kerry Shale will taunt you by getting you into the short story. They get you excited and engaged in the story and then bring you crashing down as you realise the story has ended and you need to find another novel or audiobook! Hopefully it was as good as this story before the rug was ripped from under me!
