Editorial reviews
Editors Select, November 2017
The 22nd installment of the Jack Reacher series is a must-listen. (Series are like that; they ebb and flow.) Dick Hill is Jack Reacher to me, and his performance in The Midnight Line is as strong as ever. What makes the audiobook special is how the narration conveys the loneliness of the people in Mule Crossing, Wyoming (a new locale for Reacher), the pain that drives some of them to fentanyl addiction, and the sadness of wounded soldiers who return home to find difficulty instead of triumph. Ultimately, however, Dick Hill and Lee Child also pay homage to the unlikely resilience that impels fictional - and real - lives. —Christina, Audible Editor
Publisher's summary
Number one New York Times Best Seller • Lee Child returns with a gripping new powerhouse thriller featuring Jack Reacher, "one of this century's most original, tantalizing pop-fiction heroes" (The Washington Post).
Reacher takes a stroll through a small Wisconsin town and sees a class ring in a pawn shop window: West Point 2005. A tough year to graduate: Iraq, then Afghanistan. The ring is tiny, for a woman, and it has her initials engraved on the inside. Reacher wonders what unlucky circumstance made her give up something she earned over four hard years. He decides to find out. And find the woman. And return her ring. Why not?
So begins a harrowing journey that takes Reacher through the upper Midwest, from a lowlife bar on the sad side of small town to a dirt-blown crossroads in the middle of nowhere, encountering bikers, cops, crooks, muscle, and a missing persons PI who wears a suit and a tie in the Wyoming wilderness.
The deeper Reacher digs, and the more he learns, the more dangerous the terrain becomes. Turns out the ring was just a small link in a far darker chain. Powerful forces are guarding a vast criminal enterprise. Some lines should never be crossed. But then, neither should Reacher.
Critic reviews
"Narrator Dick Hill's gruff, evenly paced voice has become the voice of Jack Reacher, even when Reacher says nothing.... Hill successfully voices the many characters, male and female, cop and criminal, whom Reacher encounters." (AudioFile)

Story
Jack Reacher wakes up alone, in the dark, handcuffed to a makeshift bed. His right arm has suffered some major damage. His few possessions are gone. He has no memory of getting there. The last thing Reacher can recall is the car he hitched a ride in getting run off the road. The driver was killed. His captors assume Reacher was the driver’s accomplice and patch up his wounds as they plan to make him talk. A plan that will backfire spectacularly . . .

Story
Velkommen til Margrave, Georgia - men bliv ikke alt for knyttet til stedet. Byens beboere er enten involveret i en farlig sammensværgelse, eller med hastige skridt på vej mod den sikre død... eller begge dele. Det er ikke en varm velkomst, der venter Jack Reacher, eks-militærmand, da han står af en Greyhound-bus i sydstatsbyen Margrave. Inden for kort tid arresteres han og anklages for mord. Det eneste Jack Reacher ved med sikkerhed er, at han ikke har slået nogen ihjel. I hvert fald ikke for nylig. Og slet ikke i Margrave.

Story
From the Stone Age to the Greek Tragedies, from Shakespeare to Robin Hood, we have always had our heroes. The hero is at the centre of formative myths in every culture and persists to this day in world-conquering books, films and TV shows. But why do these characters continue to inspire us, and why are they so central to storytelling? Scalpel-sharp on the roots of storytelling and enlightening on the history and science of myth, The Hero is essential listening for anyone trying to write or understand fiction.

Living Nightmare. Great Ending.
The first thing I have to do when listening to or reading a Reacher novel is get the image of Tom Cruise out of my head. Cruise serves the movie franchise well and I liked both of his movies. But of course in the book Reacher is a giant, something like old Clint Walker, dwarfing Cruise.
The novel begins with a missing person, a veteran as well as a twin sister. While simply drifting, as he always does, Reacher finds a woman’s West Point class ring in a pawn shop and simply wants to return it to its owner. It turns out the veteran’s sister is looking for her too. It quickly becomes apparent opioids are involved with her disappearance.
It’s well into novel when the first mystery is solved and the veteran is found. I confess it was growing a bit tiresome. But the rest of the story is a fascinating, intensely personal story of the horror one veteran must endure from war wounds for the rest of her life.
It’s not a typical violent action novel at all. I loved it and I hope you will as well.
This is written on my iPhone so please forgive any errors. I hope you like my reviews, because I read hundreds of yours each week!

A slight disappointment
You know how these have been getting worse over time? This one doesn’t break the pattern. It’s okay but not great. I saw the ending coming a mile away which is disappointing.
Dick Hill is his usual fantastic but I docked a point because he started the novel in a kind of stilted fashion and it took a while to find the proper stride.

What happened to Jack.........
Not a very good Reacher book at all. between the lack of action and Dick Hills performance this book does not live up to previous Novels. R.C Bray would be a better fit for this series, Dick Hill (who I've listened to for years) just can pull off multiple character voices. Same cadence, inflections, almost gives them all a speech impediment.

worthy
This is more complex than many of its predecessors. Child seems to be on a bit of a mission, or an expose here, and his characters lead the reader along the path of learning about the opioid epidemic, especially as it pertains to veterans. Reacher being a vet isn't just a plot device in this series, which explores the good along with the bad about service under fire. Plenty of Reacher-esque macho standoff stuff, but what is more notable to me is the recurring theme of logic. Most people don't have dialogue like people do in Reacher books, but that's OK. Most real dialogue is dull. People in Child's books contemplate what other people say before they respond, and people tend to give each other credit for being smart enough to parse out implications. It's artificial and sometimes scarcely credible, but it goes along with how Reacher decides to respond to scenarios, by playing them out first and narrowing the possibilities. And sometimes he's wrong, and he pays the price. It's an interesting world that I will keep reading about.

A good listen!
This was a great listen for my boyfriend and I. We enjoyed it on some of our summer road trips. Though it is not our favorite of the Jack Reacher books, we still really enjoyed the story line.

reader disappointing
love Jack Reacher. this one was good because he spotted a class ring from West Point at a pawn shop and gave in to his curiosity. he wanted to know the story behind it.
of course, he employed the typical Reacher methods to elicit information about the transactions which brought the ring to the pawn shop and he reached out to some interesting resources along the way but it was his deductions based on his life experience which brought him to the solution.
the decision and his subsequent actions at the end of the story make him real and make the reader wish that there were more people like him.
