Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Tripwire is the third book in Lee Child’s internationally popular Jack Reacher series, read by Jeff Harding.
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 the 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.
Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, Tripwire is the third in the series.

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!

Not my favourite reacher novel but great narration
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!

Another Winner for Me
Terrific, love the way it's read, voice fitting well, even the ladies, in spite of Jeff's distinctly male voice.

Narrator
This guy reads like he’s reading a list. Awful narration. Characterisation of female characters: makes the all sound like bimbos.

Another excellent Reacher novel
The one thing I noticed with this book is Jeff Harding’s amazing voices, you forget that there is just one person narrating this book, you forget the he said, she said and just listen to the story. These early books are some of my favourites, classic JR stories highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good could be improved
Too descriptive in places. Some not necessary to the story. Made part of me go “get on with it”
Overall not bad. Worth a read and the Reacher character is good but the reader doesn’t need every little descriptive bit to enjoy the story
