Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.

**NOW A MAJOR PRIME TV SERIES STARRING ALAN RITCHSON**

Six shots. Five dead.

A heartland city thrown into terror. But within hours the cops have it solved. A slam-dunk case. Apart from one thing. The accused gunman refuses to talk except for a single phrase:

Get Jack Reacher for me.

Reacher lives off the grid. He's not looking for trouble. But sometimes trouble looks for him. What could connect the noble Reacher to this psychopathic killer?

_________

Although the Jack Reacher can be listened to in any order, One Shot is the 9th in the series.

‘Jeff Harding’s [...] narration captures Reacher’s character perfectly [...] you have to savour every minute.’ The Sunday Times

Critic reviews

'Lee Child is often mistaken for a US writer, so skilfully and enthusiastically has he embraced the idiom of the American thriller ... One of the genre's finest practitioners.'
'The Jack Reacher series of thrillers...are all hugely exciting, and knowledgeable about weapons and technology. They exude a powerful sense of right and wrong. We've seen him...as a righter of wrongs and always as God's gift to women.'
'Child's strengths are fast-moving dialogue and gripping action sequences ... The excitement lasts from the first to the final page.'
'Reacher sees justice done while kicking commendable amounts of ass ... Intricate plotting makes for an engrossing read.'
'First-rate thriller, with the imperturbable Reacher meting out his brand of justice to the villains.'
'Hot, indomitable...pure, escapist gold.'

Very engaging. Could not stop listening. Reacher at his best. No compromise, no mercy for the bad guys.

The plot.

Child does it so well. Sneaks in a twist or two, a couple of females and of course some baddies to defeat with his bare hands.

A good recipe for success

Loved One Shot, love all the Reacher books, and Jeff Harding is a great narrator. But the publisher, for reasons best known to him or herself, has added in pseudo-dramatic music at moments in the story that I suppose the publisher considers insufficiently dramatic without these darts.

While most of the books I've heard so far don't have this "music", I think the same effect is in 61 Hours as well. It's an enormous pain the bottom and, while I can't say it ruins the book, it's very, very irritating.

Please, Mr or Ms Publisher, cut this out. Reacher really doesn't need your help. He'll be fine on his own.

Loved the Book, Hated the Music Inserts

Great plot and characters as always. what really shines about this audiobook series is the narration. I wish Jeff Harding could narrate for all the authors I enjoy!
