Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.
**NOW A MAJOR PRIME TV SERIES STARRING ALAN RITCHSON**
March 1997. A woman has her throat cut behind a bar in Mississippi.
Just down the road is a big army base. Is the murderer a local guy - or is he a soldier?
Jack Reacher, still a major in the military police, is sent in undercover.
The county sheriff is a former U.S. Marine - and a stunningly beautiful woman. Her investigation is going nowhere. Is the Pentagon stonewalling her? Or is she trying not to find the killer?
Set just six months before the opening of Killing Floor, The Affair marks a turning point in Reacher's career.
If he does what the army wants, will he be able to live with himself? And if he doesn't, will the army be able to live with him?
Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, The Affair is 16th in the series.
'There's only one Jack Reacher. Accept no substitutes.' Mick Herron
‘Jeff Harding’s [...] narration captures Reacher’s character perfectly [...] you have to savour every minute.’ The Sunday Times

Jeff Harding is perfect as Reacher, deep booming voice. His female characters take a bit of getting used to, but once you get into the story it's good.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, this listen flew by.Gripping, suspenseful Reacher

Performance overall pretty good. a one maybe two fluffed lines and the occasional page turn. could probably have had a tighter edit, but nothing bad enough to spoil it.

Like all the Jack Reacher books, it grips you from the start. The pace is quick but any explosive moments seem to happen in slow motion, like a slowed-down car crash.
As always, this novel succeeds in detail, to make you think you are there; the environment is picture-perfect and anything that happens seems real.
Like all the Jack Reacher books, they are stand-alone but when I had read my first, I realised how good it was and went back to the first in the series. I am reading them in chronological order.
