About this listen

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

Critic reviews

A slickly effective thriller which confirms Child's ability to keep the reader guessing - and sweating
A fast-moving, violent and gripping mystery with a very bad baddie, and a tough, pragmatic hero in Jack Reacher
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)
Establishes Child in the premier division.. Taut, with more than a touch of sweet romance, this is dangerously compulsive, so be warned - don't start it at bedtime or you'll be up all night
Good thrillers exist in a class of their own. The point of such a book is total escape and Tripwire fills the bill... includes a bang-up finale which makes the reader sit back and gasp with both wonder and understanding
Page for page, there's probably more fisticuffs in a Lee Child thriller than anywhere else
All stars

Well I'm three books into the Jack Reacher series. I would say this was the slowest of the three with more intrigue than action and of course as we learn more and more about reacher, the more we like him, so this maybe compensates for the lack of pace.

The major positive was the narrator. He is probably the best yet for the reacher books and actually makes the female characters sound feminine and believable. I guess this is an ongoing issue in all audio books but it's a major plus and helps you get immersed in the story.

So still a 4/5 for the story and I'm already onto book four which I note has the same narrator!

Not my favourite reacher novel but great narration

Loved the narration by Jeff Harding......brings the characters to life.
Tripwire revealed a more softer side to Reacher thanks to his feelings for Jodie. Would be interesting to see how their relationship develops although I suspect Reacher will find a reason/excuse to move on.
Looking forward to next JR adventure.

Jack Reacher at his most vulnerable
