short enough to listen to in a day and enthralling enough that you don't want to stop

Will Trent and Jack Reacher in one short story.

Loved it. 2 if my favourite writers in a story about 2 favourite characters. Great!

Make A Good Team

I really enjoyed this book even though I didn't think I would. I'm a big Will Trent fan but never read any Jack Reacher books and was happily surprised and I have looked for some Jack Reacher books in audible to give them a try. Great story great characters and would have give it 5 stars but I felt like the book finished in the middle of the story didn't feel like it was all tied up nicely it felt like suddenly it was cut off. It also left me wanting more from this duo. I would love the to do join forces again.

Wierd combination only just OK

Its short but a good story.
Jack Reachers part is again read with almost staccato clipped chanting of the short sentences used in the book
Overall it didn't really work. Uninspiring.

Like Reachers to the Slaughter!

A fascinating idea, pitting two of the biggest heroes of popular modern thriller writing up against each other. Will Trent pursuing Jack Reacher about pretty much the opening incident in the Jack Reacher series; his arrest in Margrave that starts the adventure in Killing Floor. It's an excellent premise and I enjoyed revisiting those events.

Two things are obvious from the start, firstly this comes across as much more a Karin Slaughter project than a Lee Child one. Secondly, Slaughter is a Jack Reacher fan too given the write-up she gives him! She seems to have done most of the writing with the chapters alternating between Trent's point of view and Reacher's with Trent getting most of the say. Each is written very much to the relevant author's style with Child's punchy, no-frills approach contrasting nicely with Slaughter's more rounded prose. The narration is split accordingly with the superb gravelly tones of Master Harding taking the Reacher parts.

It's a good little story too and one of the many signs that show that a short story is a good one is that I felt it could well have gone on for longer. Funnily enough, while both men get conclusions to their missions in this one the rather abrupt ending very clearly signposts that there will be more of this joint venture to come which, to be honest, I'm all for! That ending is particularly abrupt though especially when you leave the last fifteen minutes for a work break only to find out that the last dozen or so of that is actually a short excerpt from 'The Last Widow', which is the upcoming next instalment in the Will Trent series.

So, happy with my purchase, and I will be happy if this does continue to develop the chemistry between the two men a little further.

Garbage

What a load of bollocks.
I thought past tense was bad, but then I hadn’t read this turd.
The story is totally unbelievable and not to mention boring.
It’s just an advert for both leads, but fails massively, because if this is your first read of either character I’m sure you would’ve bother buying any of the full books. I’ve read every Reacher book to date multiple times, not sure I’m going to bother with Trent.

no action no drama

not enough action for me, not a lot of drama either.
read all Jack reacher books and some Will Trent
this was a disservice to both.
