About this listen

 Late at night in a New York cafe, army-cop-turned-drifter Jack Reacher orders coffee in a cup made of foam, not china, so that he can move on at a moment's notice. He owns nothing, carries less, has never encountered a female colleague he can't bed, or a case he can't solve. But now, Reacher is confronted by a situation so disturbing and deceptive that the truth eludes him. Has he painted targets on the good guys' backs?

So Reacher starts over at square one. He sweats the details and works the clues. As they used to say back in the service, he's doing it the hard way. Until, what started on a busy New York street explodes three thousand miles away in the sleepy English countryside with Reacher striding alone in the shadows, armed and dangerous, and invincible.©2006 Lee Child (P)2006 Random House Audiobooks Thriller & Suspense

Very disappointing

I love these books but this one was weird! Very short and the style wasn't Child I know. The narrator was great for the other characters but awful for Reacher. Something wrong here just not up to standard!

Hero's voice as a Wisper.

This Audiobook is hard to listen to because the voice of the hero is a whispered, so the volume has to be turned up so that you can hear the hero.
