Captivating

Any additional comments?

Reacher is becoming an addiction. Tense and thrilling, I was almost feeling sorry for those characters that chose to mess with the 'special investigator'.

Reacher at his thinking best

At last we encounter the thinking Reacher, certainly he can still break arms and eliminate those who need to be eliminated, however, this story shows us a different and more cerebra hero. Lee Child has developed his character to negotiate strategies that are very complex and, at times, unbelievable though in the context of the story, necessary. The characterisation through the voice of Jeff Harding, is as usual, brilliant. Without our favourite reader Reacher would be a pale ersatz of the real man.

Run of the Mill Reacher

Would you listen to Echo Burning again? Why?

No - I've read it in paper form and now listened. It's a reasonably inventive story with just about enough action but not quite a page-turner.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

At no point do we feel that Reacher is in serious trouble - he spends a lot of the book helping people who are but it would have been better for him to have faced some serious adversaries a bit earlier.

Which character – as performed by Jeff Harding – was your favourite?

Reacher. The others were fine although poor little Ellie was just a caricature.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not quite.

Yet another belting, twisting tale.

Reacher at his best again. A slow build up to a great crescendo of activity. The master of who dunnits.

Gripping Reacher

This was probably the most enjoyable Reacher book I’ve read or listened to so far. The plot moves along nicely with some surprises that even catch Reacher unawares. The narrator is excellent throughout.

Always Brilliant

Always brilliant, full of interesting background details that set the many scenes that make the story twist and turn until the very end.
