Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.

**NOW A MAJOR PRIME TV SERIES STARRING ALAN RITCHSON**

Jack Reacher has no place to go, and all the time in the world to get there.

A remote railroad stop on the prairie with the curious name of Mother's Rest seems perfect for an aimless one-day stopover. He expects to find a lonely pioneer tombstone in a sea of nearly-ripe wheat.

Instead there is a woman waiting for a missing colleague, a cryptic note about two hundred deaths, and a small town full of silent, watchful people.

Reacher's one-day stopover turns into an open-ended quest leading to the most hidden reaches of the internet, and right into the nightmare heart of darkness.

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, Make Me is 20th in the series.


"Child's best for some time...with detective-story and romcom elements (even sly humour) on top of the psychological duels and set-piece violence." (Sunday Times)

‘Jeff Harding’s [...] narration captures Reacher’s character perfectly [...] you have to savour every minute.’ The Sunday Times

Ratings and reviews

Disappointed with this one. Just finished Bad Luck and Trouble which I thought was one of his best. This one did not measure up. I realise that there is quite a gap between the two books in the series but this has made me think twice about going back to previous ones in case they are just as tedious. I agree with previous comments that the casting of Tom Cruise was a disaster (but then again he was a producer). I saw an interview with Lee Child and he was not enamoured either. I have watched the new series and the character is spot on (Lee Child has a say in the casting). Also I worried about the state of Lee Child's mind at the end of this book.

....Phenomenal.
