Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.
**NOW A MAJOR PRIME TV SERIES STARRING ALAN RITCHSON**
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 a 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.
‘If the final pages of this story don’t make your heart race, then you might want to make sure your heart is still working.’ KARIN SLAUGHTER
'Lee Child continues his meteoric rise and mastery of suspense with Tripwire. It's a tightly-drawn and swift thriller that gives new meaning to what a page-turner should be.' MICHAEL CONNELLY
'A slickly effective thriller which confirms Child's ability to keep the reader guessing - and sweating.' THE TIMES
Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, Tripwire is the third in the series.
‘Jeff Harding’s [...] narration captures Reacher’s character perfectly [...] you have to savour every minute.’ The Sunday Times

Tripwired for Sound!
The crackling brickwork of Child's prose coupled with the crunchy granite of Harding's voice used together to form the human concrete that is Jack Reacher is a combination strong enough to lay a patio that would outlast Stonehenge. These were amongst the first audiobooks I ever listened to on CD and re-visiting them has been pure joy!
This one's a little more staid than the previous two, we get to see a lot of what's going on under the hood with Reacher and it's more about his investigative work and background rather than the brutal violence that he's famed for.
In truth this one could arguably have done with some tighter editing but it still delivers lots of classical Reacher deduction and the central story line is compelling. It retains the stark directness of approach and a relatively simplified world that characterizes the earlier Reacher books. I would guess that your old English teacher would never use them to demonstrate the finer points of the literary art but I bet he secretly has a copy of a couple of them stashed away at home!

Story is dull
For such a dull story there are lots of grotesque activities and characters. too much inactivity in the book, was glad when all was finally over.

A terrific story, seething with suspense and twists!
Another riveting Jack Reacher story, maybe “nailing” would be a more appropriate adjective. Jeff Harding’s faultless, gravelly, fruity voice is simply perfect for Lee Child’s style of blood chilling story telling… NEXT!

Hugely enjoyable read with plot twists
Cracking book. Slow to start and takes sewing threads into a story line to a new level.

Great story
The more JR books I read I realise Lee Childs is obsessed with women wearing little to nothing also Jack is your ultimate heart breaker falling in and out of love with ever beautiful women that crosses his path...and they have to be spectacular beautiful....as a women I find this mildly annoying and so clichéd...but I do love the stories.
