It ends too soon

At the end of the story you are anticipating more conclusions. The author definitely could have gotten many more miles out of the story, but good nonetheless.

If I didn’t know, I would’ve thought it was Lee Child writing this

I’m a big fan when I read that Lee Charles was handing over Jack to his little brother. I was worried that it wouldn’t be the same quality that he wouldn’t understand Jack as a character. I was really worried. I’m no longer worried. This was phenomenal one of the best short stories I’ve ever read, the author understands Jack

Ends abruptly

The story was actually more interesting than the most recent full length novel but the short story was too short. I didn’t feel like any of the plot points were explained well enough and then it just ends. Needed to be fleshed out a little.

Needs More

This was a short story within the Reacher universe, and while it was good, it felt like it was missing something.

Too short it still had plenty of room to go to be completed maybe get to some justice

Too short for a full Audible Credit

Andy my boy !!! You need to roll a bit deeper like your bro .
Audible is sacking a full credit for this short and I feel a bit taken . I didn’t use my reacher senses and check the duration of this book.. I sat in a seat facing the back wall and paid for it !! Should have eaten more when I had the chance because this one left me stranded in Texas near the border with no food and the bitch drank all the tequila before she got strangled 🤣

A Reacher story

How can you beat a Reacher story? This one needs an ending. Interesting as far as it goes, and could be confused with a Lee Child, Reacher tale. Needs to be a real story.

Good structure and pace

Short story does leave you wanting more. The story is a good Reacher tale. Captures the whole story in in a shorter time.

Wow.

This is another wonderful short story. I enjoyed completely. I do wish was a bit longer.

Love Reacher Novels

Decent story but not complete. A cop out, could have easily made it a complete short story.
