About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

An original short story about Jack Reacher, available as a separate audiobook (also included in the complete Reacher story collection
No Middle Name).

Early in his military career, Jack Reacher is ordered undercover in Washington, to discover which one of four women, all staff officers on fast track careers, is leaking secrets.

The suggested method: get close to each in turn.

The obvious problem: the most receptive will be the guilty one, with an agenda of her own ... to kill the investigation - and the investigator.

‘Child has somehow forged that magical grail: a new and believable hero... when we thought all the heroes had been written.’ Observer

The thing I like about this book is it’s predictable... You know Reacher isn’t going to lose. He might have a bump n a scrape on the way but, so what 6 foot something weighing 200 and something pounds moving steadily and swiftly... The other guys might as well just search for their pension books 👍

Subtle......

I would avoid this novella! I am too used to Jeff Harding - it just didn’t feel right!

Not as good as the rest

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

…but still the usual Reacher style. Amazing story telling, Lee Child can seemingly do no wrong!

I would have loved this to have been a full blown novel, but as a novella, it had the right pace & intrigue, and ultimately an enjoyable ending! (I do miss the 'old' Reacher though.

Enjoy!

Not the usual Reacher Voice…

Lee Child Reacher books are the best, I didn't like the guy reading this book, others have done better. This guy didn't understand Reacher character so could not portray him accurately.

love reacher, didn't like the reader

Lee Child knows how to write thrillers be it short or full novels so talented Reacher never fails to thrill

another brilliant story

Again a great smart, easy, enjoyable listen to and a quick read/listen. Great book one you can enjoy before delving into a longer read.

Cracking short story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Always enjoyed Lee Child. Unfortunately this one short two dimensional and unmemorable. One of his earlier works?

Not up to Reacher Standards?

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Waste of a credit as didn’t realise it was a very short story, Obviously my mistake as then found all Reacher short stories available in one title for the same money.

Cost to purchase and length of book

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

What would have made Deep Down better?

A plot. This isn't as idiotic as "not a drill" but still a third class efford from Lee Child.

What was most disappointing about Lee Child’s story?

The whole thing could have been developed into a decent book, but as it was the plot seems incomplete and full of holes, and none of the charactors are developed. The whole thing is short and expensive for what it is.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment, feeling that as a reader we are being taken advantage of.

Any additional comments?

A short story can be an absolute joy if the the distilled essence of a story is masterfully told and elegantly presented. This just has the flavour of an author who, now he's signed a hollywood book deal, doesn't feel the need to try anymore. Next thing you know he'll be co-writing his books with some unknown hack just like that other prize pratt Clive Cussler who now writes with his son whom he named after his lead character. Al least Lee Child doesn't make cameo appearances in his own books like Cussler, but it's a slippery slope Lee Child, so buck your ideas up!

Compacent and disappointing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

A waste of good money which wasted one credit. Should have seen it was a short story.

Bot a good buy
