Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Chicago. 1992. A hospital patient wakes to find two strangers by his bed.
They show him a list of names and ask a simple but impossible question. Minutes later he falls to his death from his twelfth-floor window - a fall which generates some unexpected attention.
That attention comes from the Secretary of Defense, who calls for an inter-agency task force to investigate. Jack Reacher, recently demoted from Major, is assigned as the Army's representative. If he gets a result, great. If not, he's a convenient fall guy.
Reacher may be an exceptional military investigator, but office politics aren't what gets him up in the morning. As he races to identify a cold-blooded killer and uncover a secret that stretches back 23 years, he must navigate around his new partners.
Will Reacher bring the bad guys to justice the official way...or his way?
Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, The Secret is the 28th book in the internationally bestselling series.

Interesting prequel
I did enjoy this book although not the best of the series by a long way.
There is a glaring continuity error that I found very disappointing but that aside this was an entertaining listen.

Good story, terrible narration
Couldn’t finish listening due to the way it’s been narrated - he reads every sentence exactly the same, like a statement, really annoying after a while! Wish I hadn’t wasted a credit on this, that’ll teach me to sample books/listens from now on.

Enjoy it for what it is!
I’ve listened to every Jack reacher book. I have very much enjoyed them and pre-ordered this one. It’s easy listening and the narration/performances are consistent and good. Anyone who has read every book will know that the narration is fitting for the characters. But….there’s a but….. I haven’t enjoyed the last two books as much as the others and I’m not sure why: perhaps it’s because i like wandering reacher, perhaps it’s reacher fatigue, perhaps it’s because I guessed the ending half way through, so it was predictable this time….I really can’t put my finger on it. But, my point is that the fault, if there is any, may be with my expectations and not the book itself.
Ultimately I enjoyed it enough so that I will continue to pre-order!
Enjoy it for it is.

Accent 🙁
The American accent drove me mad. The narrators voice was dry and crackly. It spoilt the book for me to be honest.

Underwhelmed
Huge Reacher fan and eagerly awaiting each book. I understand the continuity going back. But the story lacked depth and was quite linear. The narration was great as usual. I hope that the best book is a return to form.

A good Jack Reacher story
The narrator is now synonymous with Reacher and he reads these stories brilliantly. The story itself was good, although it took a little while to get going- but that might be because I like the post- military stories more.
A good tale well told,

the secret
Not enamoured of this book, and I have all the Reacher audio books. Jeff Harding is an amazing narrator, but even his dulcet tones couldn't keep me engrossed. Just didn't do it for me.
