About this audiobook

The bestselling novel featuring the "wonderfully epic hero" (People) who inspired the hit film Jack Reacher.

Thumbing across the scorched west Texas desert, loner Jack Reacher has nowhere to go, and all the time in the world to get there. Cruising the same stretch of two-lane blacktop is pretty Carmen Greer. But for Reacher, the lift comes with a hitch. Carmen’s got a story to tell, and it’s a wild one. All about her husband, her family secrets, and a hometown that’s pure Gothic. She’s also got a plan. Jack Reacher’s part of it. And before the sun sets, this ride could cost them both their lives.

This one was the least captivating, relative to the first 4 books. It's fine, but largely forgettable. It's also the slowest and has long spans of unnecessary exposition. It could have been about 25% shorter. I also concur with the disappointment in the choice of narrator. It's hard to get lost in the story when every character sounds almost the same and at least 65 years old.

Book was great. Need a reader that can actually do the characters justice rather than making everyone sound like a 1939s gangster

A fun Reacher adventure. Parts of the plot are implausible, but the core mystery is intricate and Reacher himself impresses as always. The reader has a bit of a cowboy accent that works well for this story that is set in a ranching area in Texas.
