About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.

**NOW A MAJOR PRIME TV SERIES STARRING ALAN RITCHSON**

Six shots. Five dead.

A heartland city thrown into terror. But within hours the cops have it solved. A slam-dunk case. Apart from one thing. The accused gunman refuses to talk except for a single phrase:

Get Jack Reacher for me.

Reacher lives off the grid. He's not looking for trouble. But sometimes trouble looks for him. What could connect the noble Reacher to this psychopathic killer?

_________

Although the Jack Reacher can be listened to in any order, One Shot is the 9th in the series.

Critic reviews

'Lee Child is often mistaken for a US writer, so skilfully and enthusiastically has he embraced the idiom of the American thriller ... One of the genre's finest practitioners.'
'The Jack Reacher series of thrillers...are all hugely exciting, and knowledgeable about weapons and technology. They exude a powerful sense of right and wrong. We've seen him...as a righter of wrongs and always as God's gift to women.'
'Child's strengths are fast-moving dialogue and gripping action sequences ... The excitement lasts from the first to the final page.'
'Reacher sees justice done while kicking commendable amounts of ass ... Intricate plotting makes for an engrossing read.'
'First-rate thriller, with the imperturbable Reacher meting out his brand of justice to the villains.'
'Hot, indomitable...pure, escapist gold.'

This was the first Jack Reacher novel I heard and I have now listened again and it's just as good. The plot is as enthralling as all Lee Childs work. Reacher is only after one thing the truth! even if he cant stand the guy he's helping the truth is more important. You will be kept guessing right to the end but with Lee Child that is never frustrating just enthralling.



If you are a Jack Reacher fan you will love it. If you haven't heard a Jack Reacher story yet this is a great introduction, you will definitely download another!

Absolutely brilliant - Classic Reacher

Great book with a good pace and exciting from start to finish. Each chapter ends with irritating music that ruins the atmosphere, but other than that this was great.

Great Story, crazy music breaks.

First time audible user(recommended from a work colleague, Cheers Arthur) , first Jack Reacher novel(again recommended via Arthur). Havent even seen the film in which this is based on, and I'm glad! Incredible story, twists and turns. Lee Child brings Reacher to life brilliantly, cannot wait for my next read! The narrator was quality also... Although, the women voices he did got a little degenerative. But all in all. LOVED IT!

Epic!

Excellent product excellent narrative. Well worth listening to. That is the second time I have listened to this book. I think that I have listened to all of the books twice now. Very sad...
Thanks Jeff
