Publisher's summary

Across the country women are being murdered by a killer who leaves no evidence, no fatal wounds, no signs of struggle, and no clues to a motive. They are, truly, perfect crimes. In fact, the only thing that links the victims is the man they all knew: Jack Reacher.

Critic reviews

“Reacher is one of the more interesting suspense heroes to come along in a while.” (San Antonio Express News)

“Jack Reacher, the wandering folk hero of Child’s superb line of thrillers faces a baffling puzzle in his latest adventure…a brain-teasing puzzle that gets put together piece by fascinating piece...and a central character with Robin Hood-like integrity and an engagingly eccentric approach to life.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Deeply satisfying...plan to stay up long past bedtime and do some serious hyperventilating toward the end.” (Kirkus Reviews)

good suspense

If you could sum up Running Blind in three words, what would they be?

Surprising, detailed, sad

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jack Reacher who handle the issues in this story well. Even though they didn't work out

Which scene was your favorite?

Well the Favorite scene would be one that made you happiest because this story is rough. Ladies might not like the plot. It is hard plot. But I like the scene after the funeral

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

That one is hard. Discovering who did it I guess

Any additional comments?

This was a surprising plot and very rough. Ladies will not like the plot because of the subject matter. But I'd recommend it. Good mystery.

Just OK

Not bad, but made the FBI look like petulant middle school children. Typical Reacher book otherwise.

great who dun it

Love Jack Reacher books... this is one of my favorites at this point. Has you guessing the whole time.. FBI guy Blake seems just a little ridiculous but that's OK, Every good story needs someone you have to roll your eyes over. A word about the reader. I usually prefer Dick Hill, but McClain was very good on this one. highly recommend Running Blind....

Reacher goes after a serial killer

Running Blind is a serial murder mystery which puts Jack Reacher into an FBI investigation as an unwilling participant. The story is intense and full of action like all the stories in the series though this one relies as much on Reacher’s brain as his brawn. It stretches believability a bit, but if you’re looking for a realistic story, you’re reading the wrong series.

The narrator of the audiobook is well suited to the books and does a good job.

READER

The reader did an okay job accept when he tried to sound different with the other characters. Those voices grated on my nerves. Just using his regular voice would have been great and kept the story intact.

Running Blind is. a Hitq

Romantic mysterious with a real surprise ending. What’s not to like? One of Lee Child’s better ones!

Suspenseful writer

Lee Child keeps my attention at every new turn makes me want to keep listening for the next clue.

Reacher is always a great character

Lee Child never fails to entertain with Reacher stories. I have read all of them at least once, some twice.

Guess most of the way

The military intertwining intriguies me and O love the way Lee writes. I can't get enough!

Frequent Listener

Good listen, like the series, like this book. Sorry to see that it probably isn't going to work out with Jack and his girl, but waiting for the next book or two to see what happens. I just heard about this author and the series this year because of the movie. Glad to find it, recomend it for those of you who want action, but don't necessarily need it to be in the form of a terrorist. Good twisted detective series.
