About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A Jack Reacher short story, published as an audiobook: now also available in the new Reacher short story collection, No Middle Name.

The tiny town of Naismith has nothing going for it - except the start of a wilderness trail through Maine's ancient forests. But one day the trail is suddenly closed by county police.

No reason is given. Rumours start - is there something in the woods that no one must see? That no one must even know about?

Then Jack Reacher drifts into town. What does he make of the Do Not Enter tape strung between the trees?

Another good short story, at least short stories are quick and straight to the point. An entertaining little story that was good to listen to. Recommended and enjoyable

I am reading the Jack Reacher stories numerically so doing the n.5s as they arrive. They are contained and finish correctly but just lack any depth. Kerry Shale does a brilliant job narrating as always. I am buying these through Kindle with Whispersync, I really don’t recommend them at the Audible price.

I am not keen on short stories

I liked the setting but not keen on Kerry Shales Batman voice. Enjoyable story though.

Loved the Twin Peaks setting

Reacher has the voice of Clint Eastwood and the rest of characters appear to be the cast of Scooby do …

An entertaining short story; same Reacher in a different style. Not long enough to meet a law enforcement lady for a fling.
