Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Blue Moon is the latest instalment in Lee Child’s internationally popular Jack Reacher series, read by Jeff Harding.

Shortlisted for the Audible Sounds of Crime Award 2020.

As featured on Richard & Judy’s ‘Keep Reading and Carry On’.

Jack Reacher is back in a brand new white-knuckle listen from Lee Child.

It's a random universe, but once in a blue moon things turn out just right.

In a nameless city, two rival criminal gangs are competing for control. But they hadn’t counted on Jack Reacher arriving on their patch.

Reacher is trained to notice things.

He’s on a Greyhound bus, watching an elderly man sleeping in his seat, with a fat envelope of cash hanging out of his pocket. Another passenger is watching too...hoping to get rich quick.

As the mugger makes his move, Reacher steps in.

The old man is grateful, yet he turns down Reacher’s offer to help him home. He’s vulnerable, scared, and clearly in big, big trouble.

What hold could the gangs have on the old guy? Will Reacher be in time to stop bad things happening?

The odds are better with Reacher involved. That's for damn sure.

One of Childs best!

We enjoyed this much more than a few of his more recent outings- high body count but lets face it, as explained in an earlier novel they are the proverbial cockroaches and you don’t feel guilty killing a cockroach .

Reacher meets Clint in Trinity style reboot

More violent than usual but nothing like the baddies sorting each other out. Enjoyed Reacher’s logic which pervades the story. Great to listen too driving through the Aussie outback.

The best Reacher book in a long time.

We really enjoyed this book. While waiting for it to come out we have read Mitch Rapp, The Gray Man and others and had forgotten how good Lee Child is at writing. The storyline as usual is sound but his grasp of the English language and turn of phrase are what sets him apart from the pack. His narration of Reacher’s thoughts make for a really interesting and gripping tale. Looking forward to another book next year.

A fail safe listen

Lee Child has done it again. First time I’ve ever listened to one of his novels rather than read it and loved it. His talent for story weaving never fails. Great plot and really well narrated. Would recommend. Can’t wait for the next one!

This book is hysterical!

Good story line with the added enjoyment of the black humour. Jack continues to defy death.

Vintage Reacher!

I always enjoy the detail

Fab story and delivered perfectly by Jeff Harding.

Agree it’s the usual recipe but what’s wrong with that?

Good acting, not so good reading.

A fast paced enjitable Jack Reacher story.
problems with the reader however. Mainly he doesn't get the cadence right and not enough inflection/modulation to the sentances.he reads every sentance at rhe same pace in the same tone....that's not how a book is read... one pauses for efect, tone changes with mood.
What he does do quite well is the dialigue. This guy's an actor...not a reader.

Reacher Reaches Out

Reliably intriguing with cans of whoopass being opened. Interesting reveal of US health pre Obamacare.
