Publisher's summary

Reacher's anonymity in Florida is shattered by an investigator who's come looking for him. But hours after his arrival, the stranger is murdered. Retracing the PI's trail back to New York, Reacher's compelled to find out who was looking for him and why. He never expects the reasons to be so personal - and twisted.

Dr. Evil?

Would have been great if I could have heard the last chapter in it's entirety.

One of the best Reacher books.

Great story. Narrator did okay. I was disappointed that the latest version of the audiobook was different than the original one I bought. An entire scene...the most important scene...was inexplicably removed! Unacceptable! Other than that, it was as good as the first time I listened.

Hard to stop listening

Great book. Like all Lee Childs books - a little twist @ the end that confused me - I had to re-listen to several chapters to connect all the dots!

I love the Jack Reacher books

Fast paced with lots of action and significant danger. A great way to construct a book. Bad guys who kill without second thought going after innocent people and they happen to attack Reacher. Big mistake.

Read instead of listening

I loved this book, I’ve been listening to each one in order of release and this one was great. However the narrator is a big turn off.

Those aren't Jeeps.

Tahoes and Bravadas are not Jeeps. The accuracy of the weaponry and military jargon is excellent, but those aren't Jeeps.

Great for a long road trip

This one is a long story with granular details on a lot of topics. Reacher is a bit more open and emotional than other books. He feels angst more than any. In general he is more vulnerable.
It has less violence and more investigation. The villain is truly a capitalist skank a-hole. I would have hoped for a better ending as far as he is concerned.
Listened to it in a long road trip and it was nice to be in Reacher’s world during the drive.
Seemed like the narrator was a little bored once in a while but the different voices were well done. Usually men narrators are great as Reacher, but the women’s voices grate on me, but this guy is good at both.

Favorite of the three thus far.

This is the third of the Jack reacher books and thus far my favorite. I was totally shocked by the twist.
