About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.
**NOW A MAJOR PRIME TV SERIES STARRING ALAN RITCHSON**
The gripping new Jack Reacher thriller from the No.1 bestselling authors Lee Child and Andrew Child.
Chicago. 1992. A hospital patient wakes to find two strangers by his bed.
They show him a list of names and ask a simple but impossible question. Minutes later he falls to his death from his twelfth-floor window - a fall which generates some unexpected attention.
That attention comes from the Secretary of Defense, who calls for an inter-agency task force to investigate. Jack Reacher, recently demoted from Major, is assigned as the Army's representative. If he gets a result, great. If not, he's a convenient fall guy.
Reacher may be an exceptional military investigator, but office politics aren't what gets him up in the morning. As he races to identify a cold-blooded killer and uncover a secret that stretches back 23 years, he must navigate around his new partners.
Will Reacher bring the bad guys to justice the official way . . . or his way?
Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, The Secret is the 28th audiobook in the internationally bestselling series.
The Secret was a No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller in October and November 2023.
‘Jeff Harding’s [...] narration captures Reacher’s character perfectly [...] you have to savour every minute.’ The Sunday Times

I’ve either read or listened to all of the Reacher books, and I’d place this pretty near the worst of them.
That said, it’s an easy listen and you don’t have to concentrate too hard. (Best you don’t otherwise some of the plot implausibilities might grate too much).
So if you have a long drive planned, and you are fond enough of Reacher to want to spend time in his company, then this is a decent choice.
But so are Harlan Coben, Michael Connelly, Peter Robinson, Mark Billingham…
Decent enough, but not great
