About this listen

They thought they could get away with murder, but then Keeler showed up.

Ex-Special Forces operator Tom Keeler is a rambling man. He’s just passing through the town of Alencourt, France, and in less than an hour, someone tries to kill him. Nice place, nice try. But it’s a case of mistaken identity, and they picked the wrong guy. The French police can’t be trusted, except for the beautiful Cecile Nazari. She finds out fast that keeping up with Keeler is a dangerous occupation. Because someone’s preying on the weak and unprotected. Someone murderous. But they never counted on coming up against a guy like Keeler.

Excellent book but I would have thought I was listening to a Lee Childs book on Jack Reacher very similar and as enjoyable

I enjoyed the matter of fact easy the guy speaks and describes things. The story is well described, you can image being there. Funny, exciting, I would like for Tom to be my friend.

Great way of telling a story

The story is very Reacher like but entertaining otherwise. It was completely spoilt by an incoherent narrator. What were you thinking having it narrated in this manner.

Mildly entertaining but dreadful narration.

The narrator read every sentence like it was a question. Very difficult to listen to and finish the book unfortunately.

Narration was left lacking

Almost the same character and backstory, hell even the narrator is the same on audible.

Reacher - Retired Army drifter, Keeler - Retired Air Force drifter. Reacher likes bashing heads and describing it in detail, Keeler likes bashing heads and describing it in detail. Reacher - French Mother, Keeler - French Mother. Reacher - no mobile phone and somewhat of a Luddite, Keeler - no mobile phone and somewhat of a Luddite, Reacher's favourite saying - " that's for damn sure", Keeler's favourite saying - "that's for damn sure". Reacher - women love him and want to take him to bed, Keeler - women love him and want to take him to bed. Reacher - travels with no luggage or possessions, Keeler - travels with a small backpack and no other possessions, and the list keeps going.

Like the other reviewers have said this is Jack Reacher's Doppelganger.

Same same but hardly different

Even though I had read the reviews I was still surprised at the echoes of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher - probably closer to the earlier books than the later ones.
I love Jeff Harding as a narrator but I’m unsure if using him was a bit much as I kept thinking Reacher not Keeler. Nonetheless it was a good story and if you enjoy Reacher novels you’ll enjoy this one.
I’m going to get the next one and see if I can get over my Reacher bias.

Copycat Reacher - Still Great
