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.'

Good story but the random music that pops up at random points is annoying

I must declare right up front that I am an avid Lee Childs fan.

I felt that this story was one of the best since the very early ones with more twists than usual.

It's a shame that Tom Cruise, an actor who I normally enjoy, elected to play Reacher (a role that he is physically unsuited to in the extreme) in the film version of this story.

The fact that the film was a dog should not put anyone off listening to this Audible version of what is really a very different story.

Jeff Harding's narration added greatly to my enjoyment - a real five star listen.

One Shot is a great addiion to the 'Reacher' story

Great story as always, great and consistent narration as always. What's the addition of dramatic music for? None of the previous books have it or need it. I have heard it used to great effect in other titles I've listened to but in this it is neither used to good effect of welcome in any sense.

I enjoyed this book very much. Having watched Tom Cruise's film version of this book I was surprised at how much of the books story line had been left out, the book has a lot of depth and background as do all of the Reacher books.
I was pleased this Reacher book was narrated by Jeff Harding in the Reacher character's voice.
My only wish is that the unnecessary intervals of music between select chapters are removed

Book is way better than the film

I really enjoyed the pace of this story. It was never dull and it held my interest from start to finish. Reacher is a character not to be crossed and he deals out justice mercilessly. Good read or listen.

Cracking Story.
