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

Jack Reacher is having a bad day.

It would be a dumb idea to make it worse.

Reacher sees a West Point class ring in a pawn shop window. It's tiny. It's a woman cadet's graduation present to herself. Why would she give it up? Reacher was a West Pointer too, and he knows what she went through to get it.

All he wants is to find the woman.

He'll have to go through bikers, cops, crooks, and low-life muscle.
If she's ok, he'll walk away. If she's not ... he'll stop at nothing.

Best advice: stay out of his way.

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, The Midnight Line follows on directly from the end of Make Me.

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

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Each year Lee Child comes up with another Reacher. Each year I lap it up. Love it... Best one for a while... there is something subversive as well as page-turning.... The sentences are short, but that doesn't mean the thinking is small.... I don't know another author so skilled at making me turn the page, at putting me in the thick of it all." (The Times)

"I just read the new Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child…. It is as good as they always are. I read every single one." (Malcolm Gladwell)

"Addictive... Child's trademark staccato-style delivers all-action excitement as well as a sombre message about the hypocrisy of the US war on drugs." (Metro)

less intriguing

In the series - this book is one of the less exciting ones out there. Moving on to the next one. Not going to remember this one in a week..

Excellent!

I am an ardent fan of Jack Reacher. The Midnight Line story line is unexpected, yet fit the Reacher character perfectly. As always Jeff Harding is the perfect voice for Reacher and the rest of the cast.

Never disappoints!

As always, very entertaining. We all want to be that "free" of baggage and that confident in our abilities for justice and self-protection.

Another great book by Lee Child

Another great book by Lee Child.
Really liked the story. Can't wait for the next one

My hero

The beginning of the book was brilliant, but then towards the end, it seemed as though Lee Child was rushing to get the book finished. I was really disappointed as I am normally spellbound right to the very end. Reacher did his best to get rid of the crooks and baddies.
As soon as I read the opening chapter of Reacher finding the ring, I had to know who it belonged to. I found out, but the ring was just a small cog in the chain. There was a lot happening in the book, a PI, a large crowd of lowlife and people's lives on the line.
As with most Reacher books, nothing is ever straightforward!

Only half good

The first half was excellent. the second half was boring and pointless. Almost like he finished the original story and thought, this is a short book. better add some more.

Jack Reacher is back!

Reacher is back to his incredible self, enjoyable from start to finish. A character like no other.

Lee Child manages to hold the attention of the reader with the simplest details. Pulling the reader in, painting a detailed picture, all without the need for multiple story arches, overly complex relationships or new character introductions.

Simple, brutal, real, thoughtful - all words to describe this book.

Very Reacher, but

I finished it easy enough but it was Reacher predictable.
I love the way he writes and the narrating was as good as always. However the plot was a bit predictable and somehow familiar.
Probably won't listen to this one again.

The Midnight Line

First Jack Reacher I have ever read, thoroughly enjoyed the story and the narration was excellent. Will definetly be reading more.

Don’t waste your time

Terrible narrative.
This is probably a great book but I can’t get past the narrator
