About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.

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

Jack Reacher is having a bad day.

It would be a dumb idea to make it worse.

Reacher sees a West Point class ring in a pawn shop window. It's tiny. It's a woman cadet's graduation present to herself. Why would she give it up? Reacher was a West Pointer too, and he knows what she went through to get it.

All he wants is to find the woman.

He'll have to go through bikers, cops, crooks, and low-life muscle.
If she's ok, he'll walk away. If she's not ... he'll stop at nothing.

Best advice: stay out of his way.

_________

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, The Midnight Line follows on directly from the end of Make Me.

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

Critic reviews

"Each year Lee Child comes up with another Reacher. Each year I lap it up. Love it... Best one for a while... there is something subversive as well as page-turning.... The sentences are short, but that doesn't mean the thinking is small.... I don't know another author so skilled at making me turn the page, at putting me in the thick of it all." (The Times)
"I just read the new Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child…. It is as good as they always are. I read every single one." (Malcolm Gladwell)

"Addictive... Child's trademark staccato-style delivers all-action excitement as well as a sombre message about the hypocrisy of the US war on drugs." (Metro)

I love the Jack Reacher series but was worried that it had lost its way, this story however brings the series back on track!

We see a different side to Reacher and more about him than his fists.

A good read, i look forward to the next one.

Reacher, a man for all occasions

a reacher novel at his best. I hate waiting for his next new story but there always worth that agony.
wish he could write one a week.

it's the master on top still.

The story itself is good. Interesting, but guessable in places. Good twists though. The narrators tone is very annoying. Very repetitive and up and down. You get used to it, but it took me a good few chapters to block it out. In fact I almost stopped listening because of it.

Good story, irritating flow to the narrative

Major Jack Reacher retired, returns for the latest instalment. Once again he becomes involved with the US Army, beginning with finding a West Point ring in a Pawn Shop. Tracing the rings owner becomes his latest mission. For fans of the series this is the usual fayre. Well worth the time to listen or read.

Another masterful work

Classic Jack Reacher but read in a monotone boring annoying American voice. Read and do not listen!

So badly read....

By now the fans know what to expect a brilliant story well read in character

Great again

I'm a huge fan of author and the main character. But this one didn't really grab me. Still enjoyed it but it has been a hard slog getting through it.

Slow and appeared to be laboured.

, typical reacher but still great

If you could sum up The Midnight Line in three words, what would they be?

A random rant

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I couldn't emotionally connect to the Book, it was quite a bizarre story line from Lee Child, i don't know what to make of it

Any additional comments?

Its not a bad book but not what you quite expect from Jack Reacher series. It seems to be written in a hurry with random thoughts and ideas about where the journey takes him. It has an abrupt ending as well. Not the best.

Quite Random
