Publisher's summary

Nominated, Gumshoe Award, 2008

A decade postmilitary, Jack Reacher has an ATM card and the clothes on his back—no phone, no ties, and no address. But now a woman from his old unit has done the impossible. From Chicago, Frances Neagley finds Reacher using a signal only the eight members of their elite team of army investigators would know. She tells him a terrifying story about the brutal death of a man they both served with. Soon Reacher is reuniting with the survivors of his old team, scrambling to raise the living, bury the dead, and connect the dots in a mystery that is growing darker by the day.

In a world of bad luck and trouble, when someone targets Jack Reacher and his team, they'd better be ready for what comes right back at them.

Critic reviews

“The truth about Reacher gets better and better. . . . This series [is] utterly addictive.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

“Jack Reacher is today’s James Bond, a thriller hero we can’t get enough of. I read every one as soon as it appears.”—Ken Follett

“Reacher is the stuff of myth. . . . One of this century’s most original, tantalizing pop-fiction heroes.”—The Washington Post

"God don't like ugly"

What made the experience of listening to Bad Luck and Trouble the most enjoyable?

I am hooked on the Lee Child Jack Reacher novel series. I just finished “Bad Luck and Trouble” book 11! Need I say anything about how awesome Dick Hill as the narrator? I love a book that gives me just enough color to feel as if I am in the eyes of the characters. This book kept me wondering, just like Jack Reacher must have been wondering, what on earth could have taken his old Army investigative unit out one by one. From the start I had no idea what kind of twist and turns this adventure was about to take me on. And the ending- wow!!- he did just what I would have if I could have. I love to get into the characters’ heads, Lee is a master of color, mood, calculation and a touch of humor.• I give this book a 4.75 star rating. And that is generous of me.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Bad Luck and Trouble?

When Reacher had his Ah-ha moment and pieces together something is terribly wrong when he cannot find his 6th and 7th members to the team.

What about Dick Hill’s performance did you like?

He does a great job in his presentation of Reacher, I feel as if he really is Reacher.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes it was but then I'd be late for work :)

Any additional comments?

I can't wait for book 12 to see what happens next!

Best in a while!

I have read several Reacher novels, more than 10 including prequels. This was the best in at least four books straight.

Very enjoyable Reacher mystery

In this mystery, Reacher is reunited with some of his old unit to avenge the disappearance and death of friends. I like Reacher novel, and this was enjoyable as always, as Reacher and his crew attempted to uncover a crime. My one complaint - I figured out an important piece long before the brilliant Reacher did. In spite of that, I still liked this story.
