Don't judge a book by it's narrator.

Interesting story line but the narrator was over the top in drama. I moved on to a different author because the narration was so annoying. I may just read another of Greyson's books and skip the audio.

Impeccable Story...

You can't imagine a gentleman like this author ever knowing an earthly thing about the underbelly of life that this novel depicts, but his writing resounds with the tone of real people imbedding a real place in time. The story breathes you in and holds its breath as the tension mounts.

The language is both stark and deliciously detailed.

A good novelist needs three things, experience, observation, and imagination--any two of which, at times any one of which--can supply the lack of the other Greyson seems to have all three in spades. He has applied them and built, simply put a masterpiece..

A fabulous book, for sure, and well worth the price anyone pays for it!!

"I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review

Shortened my trip.

I had a lengthy drive the other day and the audio version of this book was perfect. It held my interest, described the characters so well I felt like I knew them. The story was written in a way that kept my interest with surprises at every turn of events.

Loved it

Kept me anxious to get back to it each time. Loved the characters relationships as family

Interesting story and strong characters

I really liked the story and characters in this book. It was a good read and narrator was very good. It is the first jack Stratton book and I plan to read more of this series.

Great book

I really liked the characters and I really like the story is a very good book

Great Story

I wasn’t sure I was going to like this book, but it turned out to be a decent one. I wasn’t so sure about the character “Replacement”. It seems like an immature character, but the character turned out better. Now I want to listen to the series.

great Story

enjoyed this story very much. looking forward to the next episode. thank you very much

WOW-great book!

This novel was simply enjoyable to read.
Loved "Replaceable " Alice...
Smart girl... a one of a kind type of character...

The last 1/3 of the book was a roller coaster ride... very hard to put down.

Great character driven suspense mystery series!

Sometimes 5 stars are just not enough; Girl Jacked and the other novels in the Detective Jack Stratton mystery series deserve more than 5 stars! Jack Stratton lived in the whorehouse where is mother worked until he was age 7 when he entered the foster system and found a foster mother and foster siblings who became his real family. He joined the army with a foster brother only to see his brother killed causing him guilt and nightmares. At the time of this novel he is age 26 and has been a police officer for three years. Jack's care for and loyalty to his foster family is remarkable.

The other protagonist in this series is his foster sister Replacement (real name Alice) who is 7 years younger than Jack. Jack promised his dying foster mother he would take care of Alice. Replacement is about getting results; rules and laws hold no sway with her. She is also a computer hacker with excellent skills.

Girl Jacked is a serial murder case with on of Jack's and Replacement's foster sisters being one of those murdered. Author Christopher Greyson manages to write fast paced and light novels with characters so vivid that listeners/readers feel they personally know them. Andrew Tell's narration is superb.

I read Girl Jacked 2 years ago and just completed listening to the audio book. I've been reading crime mysteries for more than 60 years. Some series equal the Jack Stratton series, but none are better.
