About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.

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

You do not mess with Jack Reacher.

He is as close to untraceable as a person can get. A loner comfortable in his anonymity and solitude. So when a member of his old Army unit finds a way to contact him, he knows this has to be serious.

You do not mess with the Special Investigators.

In the past the elite team always watched each other's backs. Now one of them has shown up dead in the California desert and six more are missing.

Reacher's old buddies are in big trouble, and he can't let that go.

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, Bad Luck and Trouble is the 11th in the series.

"The invincible Reacher is as irresistible as ever." (Sunday Telegraph)

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

Story crashes along nicely with a few hypotheticals. The gruff voicing works for Reacher but the pseudo Australian accent for his MP colleague is a bit out of place. The female voicing takes a bit of getting used to and are not really distinguishable when you have multiple female characters.

Entertaining

You do not mess with the special investigations. Great story as Reacher reunites with some old army buddies. Jeff Harding is on point as always.

What made the experience of listening to Bad Luck and Trouble the most enjoyable?

Jeff Harding is Reacher in my head. His voice is Reacher and brings the character to life.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Bad Luck and Trouble?

I LOVE the sayings that are now part of my mantra. YOU DO NOT MESS WITH SPECIAL FORCES and THE MORE PREPARED YOU ARE THE BETTER LUCK COMES YOUR WAY. not exact quotes but how I remember them.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

This story gave us more Reacher because of his colleagues. It was sadder than the rest because of the personal relationships with the victims and their demise.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I am always grabbed from the beginning of each book. I painted 2 rooms non-stop listening to this book. I was totally invested in this book from the beginning.
