About this audiobook

The bestselling novel featuring the “wonderfully epic hero” (People) who inspired the hit film Jack Reacher. 

Across the country women are being murdered, victims of a disciplined and clever killer who leaves no trace evidence, no fatal wounds, no signs of struggle, and no clues to an apparent motive. They are, truly, perfect crimes. In fact, there’s only one thing that links one victim to the next. Each of the women knew Jack Reacher. And this time, even he’s running blind.

Ratings and reviews

This book was a major let down, Jack Reacher is my favorite series and this just doesn't feel like a Reacher book. Reacher felt different in this book, he was unsure and weak throughout. The villian wasn't really a good twist and felt weird. The way the villian killed made no sense. The whole book is reacher talking to the FBI. That's it. Just constantly doing nothing. It was a fairly boring book and the worst reacher I have read yet. Big let down from tripwire.

almost like a different writer. Reacher has never said "I guess & whatever" in all of his previous books combined. just didn't seem like the Reacher character at all.

Great book, but I'm not a fan of the narrator's voice for the female characters. I much prefer the narrator used in other Jack Reacher novels, Dick Hill.
