About this listen

They thought they could get away with murder, but then Keeler showed up.

Ex-Special Forces operator Tom Keeler is a rambling man. He’s just passing through the town of Alencourt, France, and in less than an hour, someone tries to kill him. Nice place, nice try. But it’s a case of mistaken identity, and they picked the wrong guy. The French police can’t be trusted, except for the beautiful Cecile Nazari. She finds out fast that keeping up with Keeler is a dangerous occupation. Because someone’s preying on the weak and unprotected. Someone murderous. But they never counted on coming up against a guy like Keeler.

Very Jack Reacher but I think that is helped by the narrator as much as the story . But because I like Jack Reacher I liked this so will move onto the next one !!

Review

Easy read and got through it as it was a different, not better, version of Lee Child's iconic drifting hero.
Not anywhere near as enjoyable as the early Reacher adventures but has a couple of novel elements which make it a tad better than the more recent Reacher books.
Just one point - I couldn't stop chuckling at the description and performance of the, thankfully, few intimate scenes... just don't bother.

Another Jack Reacher clone... in France

The narrator for the first 3 books doesn't gel with the writers style. If I had not read a later book first, I wouldn't have read any more by Jack Lively. Please Jack, have the narrator for the last books narrate the first 3. I'd buy them again for sure.
