Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.


Six shots. Five dead.

A heartland city thrown into terror. But within hours the cops have it solved. A slam-dunk case. Apart from one thing. The accused gunman refuses to talk except for a single phrase:

Get Jack Reacher for me.

Reacher lives off the grid. He's not looking for trouble. But sometimes trouble looks for him. What could connect the noble Reacher to this psychopathic killer?

_________

Although the Jack Reacher series can be listened to in any order, One Shot is the 9th in the series.

One Shot is a great addiion to the 'Reacher' story

I must declare right up front that I am an avid Lee Childs fan.

I felt that this story was one of the best since the very early ones with more twists than usual.

It's a shame that Tom Cruise, an actor who I normally enjoy, elected to play Reacher (a role that he is physically unsuited to in the extreme) in the film version of this story.

The fact that the film was a dog should not put anyone off listening to this Audible version of what is really a very different story.

Jeff Harding's narration added greatly to my enjoyment - a real five star listen.

Better than the Movie

Sorry guys but the movie spoiled this for me. I cannot imagine a more inappropriate person to play Reacher than Tome Cruise - Reacher is supposed to be 6"4, muscular and very masculine - the complete opposite to Tom Cruise.

Saying that though. I very much enjoyed the unabridged version of this story - it had so much more depth than the film. I say the say thing about the Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons... the book is much better.

Anyone who likes Lee Child's Jack Reacher will love this audio book - and Jeff Harding narrates it perfectly.

Towser T

Another superlative thriller from Lee Child. I decided to read them in order, although each one is a story in itself. The tension mounts but it gets into its stride very quickly. It is a well crafted tale and the star, Jack Reacher, is a likeable individual and ideal for all the storylines I have witnessed so far.

Jeff Harding IS Jack Reacher. It would not have the same feel as an audio book without him.

This particular book is another five star production. You are skilfully drawn in and then it starts to unfold. I have already downloaded the next in the series. Enough said!

Why the music?

Overall excellent, but no need for the music between sections, it's just irritating. It's a shame as I generally like Jeff Hardings narration of the Jack Reacher books.

Better than the Tom Cruise movie

…and that film was class! A part of me questioned whether there was any point listening to this, but again was not disappointed.

Best reacher since the first one

thoroughly enjoyed both the story and how it was read.
only thing that detracted from it was the seemingly random musical interludes
