For Jack Reacher, being invisible has become a habit.

He spends his days digging swimming pools by hand and his nights as the bouncer in a local strip club in the Florida Keys.

He doesn't want to be found.

But someone has sent a private detective to seek him out. Then Reacher finds the guy beaten to death with his fingertips sliced off. It's time to head north and work out who is trying to find him and why.


‘If the final pages of this story don’t make your heart race, then you might want to make sure your heart is still working.’ KARIN SLAUGHTER

'Lee Child continues his meteoric rise and mastery of suspense with Tripwire. It's a tightly-drawn and swift thriller that gives new meaning to what a page-turner should be.' MICHAEL CONNELLY

'A slickly effective thriller which confirms Child's ability to keep the reader guessing - and sweating.' THE TIMES

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, Tripwire is the third in the series.

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

Critic reviews

A slickly effective thriller which confirms Child's ability to keep the reader guessing - and sweating

A fast-moving, violent and gripping mystery with a very bad baddie, and a tough, pragmatic hero in Jack Reacher

Lee Child continues his meteoric rise and mastery of suspense with Tripwire. It's a tightly-drawn and swift thriller that gives new meaning to what a page-turner should be (Michael Connelly)

Establishes Child in the premier division.. Taut, with more than a touch of sweet romance, this is dangerously compulsive, so be warned - don't start it at bedtime or you'll be up all night

Good thrillers exist in a class of their own. The point of such a book is total escape and Tripwire fills the bill... includes a bang-up finale which makes the reader sit back and gasp with both wonder and understanding

Page for page, there's probably more fisticuffs in a Lee Child thriller than anywhere else

not the fast reacher book you are looking for

By far the slowest Jack Reacher I read. after reading half way you feel like quitting.

Entertaining, love the Army references.

Thank you, very memorable, enjoyable, fiction. Sure to recommend it. Reacher is a adrenaline blast.

Not my favorite Reacher

This Reacher was good if you can get past the not so good bits. There feels like a lot of ramble and the romance setup feels clumsy. The action, as always, is great, but I did feel like I was working hard to finish this one.

Utter drawn-out disappointment

Struggled to finish. Where I enjoyed the other Reacher books, this one turn tension into drawn-out boredom

Narrarated like a baseball game play by play.

Narrator was awful. Couldn't wait till the end to review. I'll try to keep listening for the sake of the story.
