A solid Jack Reacher title

This was my 6th Jack Reacher book and Lee Child does not let you down. I have no idea how the secret service is run but I can imagine and what Lee has written is pretty much what I expected about it. A solid book with sufficient action to keep you interested in a book that delves into the inner workings of the secret service and their role in protecting the Vice President.

A lot of people give 5 stars for average quality books because they are fans or give 5 stars to everything. Some people give 1 stars for the same book because they don’t like it or are trolls. I have moved away from this love it or hate it system and give stars on merit.

My rating system works as follows
1 star - terrible, don’t bother.
2 stars - I struggled to read it, not good.
3 stars - A good book and an enjoyable read.
4 stars - Better than average, a very good book.
5 stars - an outstanding book, one of the best books I have ever read.

still can't get enough

I read the first book in paperback and loved the thinking action hero. The logic the character uses shows the depth of research Lee Child has undertaken for Jack Reacher. The only problem I have is the realisation of just how much I'm going to spend on audio books, because I intend to hear the entire series.

One of the Best

Really enjoyed this story and would make a good Reacher movie. Very intriguing story which kept the suspense going right to the end. I’ve listened to a lot of reacher books and this is up there with the best. Jeff Harding’s narration is brilliant as always.

Love Jack Reacher. Love the narrator.

Even when it’s far fear he’s, when it’s all going so badly…it’s still enjoyable to listen to Jack Reacher.

One of his best. Gripping right to the end. So descriptive, it is easy to picture the scenes.

A fast action packed story

I love the way Lee Child puts together his stories and they all different too. This one is about those who serve and protect others and the lengths they will go to to do that.

I'm loving the Reacher series

Really well done, consistent performance and great narration. I'll keep getting the audiobooks as long as this engaging story line continues. But if you're looking for a deep story line with a hidden plot, the Reacher series probably isn't for you 😎.

The best Reacher

This is the strongest of these books I reckon. They are always fun but I find this one quite compelling with its family backstory.

Great climax too. Scary.

This narrator - Jeff Harding - is pretty great.
