About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.
**NOW A MAJOR PRIME TV SERIES STARRING ALAN RITCHSON**
Jack Reacher has no place to go, and all the time in the world to get there.
A remote railroad stop on the prairie with the curious name of Mother's Rest seems perfect for an aimless one-day stopover. He expects to find a lonely pioneer tombstone in a sea of nearly-ripe wheat.
Instead there is a woman waiting for a missing colleague, a cryptic note about two hundred deaths, and a small town full of silent, watchful people.
Reacher's one-day stopover turns into an open-ended quest leading to the most hidden reaches of the internet, and right into the nightmare heart of darkness.
Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, Make Me is 20th in the series.
"Child's best for some time...with detective-story and romcom elements (even sly humour) on top of the psychological duels and set-piece violence." (Sunday Times)
‘Jeff Harding’s [...] narration captures Reacher’s character perfectly [...] you have to savour every minute.’ The Sunday Times

Critic reviews
I just felt this was a bit flat and didn't hold me as much as the last few.
Still enjoyed it, just not enough for 5 stars
Bit flat for a Reacher

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. There is something poetic about the writing: the repeated phrases, and the recurrence of images. The reader has noticed this, and brings it out. There is also humour in this book, and again, Jeff Harding can get the humorous edge into his voice.Who was your favorite character and why?
Reacher is always my favourite character. He represents an archetype: a free man.Which character – as performed by Jeff Harding – was your favourite?
Reacher again. The books are always written in Reacher's voice, and Jeff Harding reads them in Reacher's voice. He does the other voices well too. There are a lot of different voices here, and for me he made the voices match the descriptions very well. I'd read the book first, and listened to it second. None of the voices jarred.Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The scenes towards the end are very grim.But ultimately this is a satisfying book. It all makes sense in the end. It's also satisfying because things recur and come round again, as they should.
Any additional comments?
It's a book about dying. It's like a on essay on dying, ways of dying, ways of killing. When is death justified? So be careful about reading this if you are recently bereaved.
Excellent: a satisfying listen

If you've read all the stories up to now, then you probably enjoy what is after all a tried and tested formula. Whilst this book won't exactly shock you, it's a big improvement on 'Personal'.
It takes time to get going but, when what the bad guys are really up to is revealed, it's quite dark stuff.
