Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Blue Moon is the latest instalment in Lee Child’s internationally popular Jack Reacher series, read by Jeff Harding.

Shortlisted for the Audible Sounds of Crime Award 2020.

As featured on Richard & Judy’s ‘Keep Reading and Carry On’.

Jack Reacher is back in a brand new white-knuckle listen from Lee Child.

It's a random universe, but once in a blue moon things turn out just right.

In a nameless city, two rival criminal gangs are competing for control. But they hadn’t counted on Jack Reacher arriving on their patch.

Reacher is trained to notice things.

He’s on a Greyhound bus, watching an elderly man sleeping in his seat, with a fat envelope of cash hanging out of his pocket. Another passenger is watching too...hoping to get rich quick.

As the mugger makes his move, Reacher steps in.

The old man is grateful, yet he turns down Reacher’s offer to help him home. He’s vulnerable, scared, and clearly in big, big trouble.

What hold could the gangs have on the old guy? Will Reacher be in time to stop bad things happening?

The odds are better with Reacher involved. That's for damn sure.

Reacher back to his best

I have been waiting for this book with bated breath and it brings Reacher back to his aggressive and destructive best, twenty four books in and still compelling listening helped in no small way by the magnificent Jeff Harding who is a true master of his craft.

mediocrity

Too many repetitive descriptions which felt like padding to extend the book length. Some of the descriptions were contrite and rubbish. Successful author just churning out another book which is very mediicre

Reacher's getting slightly past his best.

I've heard and read nearly all Reacher tales and bit by bit they have become clunkier. Full of clever observations and monosyllabic utterances but essentially passionless. Certainly, in that huge frame there beats the heart of a white knight, but one that draws on his battering reputation than to any great movement. Lee Child still writes an engaging story, however, Reacher has become slightly dusty. Oh, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it and to hear the master narrator, Mr Harding, spin the story, makes it a winner, but Lee Child should take his thinking, muscled hero and give him a pep talk.

An enjoyable listen

Another predictable but nonetheless enjoyable Jack Reacher novel. I have read all of the Jack Reacher books so I am a fan and this is another that was great for accompanying me on long journeys.

Should be called Killingspree

I have either listened to or read all the other books in this series but I didn't enjoy this one as much as the others. I did enjoy the book but it feels almost like a book of an eighties action movie. If you've read all the rest you won't be disappointed.

Sorry Lee

I've read every Jack Reacher book over the years and knew as he gets older he would have to enlist help in future stories, so I was expecting that.
But to bump into so many other willing murderers so easily was good luck.
I gave this book the lowest score I've ever given a Jack book as I think he went from vigilante to a mass murderer and psychopath, the thin line he's walked between was well and truly crossed.
