Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Tripwire is the third book in Lee Child’s internationally popular Jack Reacher series, read by Jeff Harding.
For Jack Reacher being invisible has become a habit.
He spends his days digging swimming pools by hand and his nights as the bouncer in the local strip club in the Florida Keys.
He doesn't want to be found.
But someone has sent a private detective to seek him out. Then Reacher finds the guy beaten to death with his fingertips sliced off. It's time to head north and work out who is trying to find him and why.
Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, Tripwire is the third in the series.

Narration was painfully monotonous
Storyline not bad, but wouldn't have been more enjoyable with a different narrator. Did finish it though.

A struggle to get through
It felt like real police investigation, long and boring. There wasn't enough Reacher badassery for my liking.

buyers remorse
was an absolute slog to finish, love the jack reacher series but this was trash. Long winded, poor narration and unbelievable, even by reacher standards. Avoid like the plague.

Annoying narration
I could not listen to this because of the very irritating voice of the narrator.

Struggled to finish
Rubish narrator
Plot full of holes
The main character essentially reminiscing about how he was grooming the female lead when she was 15 and he was 20 something and now she's all grown up and vanurable as her dad just died and she is in trouble because her dad was tracking down a sexually violent captain hook.

Scooby Doo.
The only function of women in this book is as victims, as objects for the hero to have sex with as complications, or to suffer sexual violence that the author describes with apparent relish and in pornographic detail. Sometimes Child is better than this, but not here. Entertaining but pretty offensive, and has a tenuous plot. And the "baddie" has a scarred face, hook hand, and is read in an "evil" voice. Yup.

Okay, but far from Child's best.
Not a bad yarn, but I was left with unanswered holes and a story convolution near the end that screamed 'amateur'. Reacher asked what it was, so he told him. (But not the reader!) Terrible technique.

For the most part - disappointing
Of all the Reacher books I've read, and admittedly, I'm trying to read them in order, so yes, this would be the 3rd, I found this one to be the slowest. I think I started this book 4 times, granted, I only recently bought it on audible, I'd been trying to read it as an ebook, but with a busy schedule, the library kept taking the book back by the time I reached Chapter 9.
By comparison to the other Reacher books that I couldn't put down, I'd have to say this one was almost forgettable, hence the disappointing rating.
I did love the ending though and I didn't see that coming, although I should have as hints to the ending were interweaved all through the book, but it still took me as a great surprise.
I still loved Reacher's wit and charm in this book and the characters themselves, I really can't fault. But as the story line kept jumping around to different scenes, and normally I can stay on top of this, it still occasionally tripped me up.
I.e: Scenario would jump from Reacher to Holby to a couple in a house, to an office work scene to, well, a whole variety of scenes, and yes, in the long run, I do see how it's all connected, but it made it jerky in the early stages in the same way a car attempts to sputter to life after a frosty night.
If I didn't already have an extensive TBV list of books I want to read/listen to, I MIGHT find time to listen/read this again to see if I can spot where the clues were placed hinting to the end (because I KNOW they were in there, just can't remember where), partially out of my own curiosity, and partially, as a writer myself, to help me best improve my own writing skills.

Best narration ~ interesting story
Love the narrator. Find it hard listening to reacher novels with other narrators now! Interesting premise however could have had a little more structure got a bit confusing. Overall though glad I bought it.
