Jeff harding can do no wrong!

I love the Jack Reacher books also narrated by Jeff harding and so this book has a very similar feel. It's a great romp of a mystery thriller and I would read another in the series

Super listening enjoyment.

Quite tense throughout.
Main character extremely likeable & perhaps we'll hear more of him, I hope so.
Usually eschew anything that goes from present to past tense & back but this was skilfully done & fleshed out the characters.
A great story, would definitely recommend a listen/read.

Not bad

Jeff Harding can make a telephone directory interesting. I ended up enjoying this due to him

Jeff Harding - top narrator

Jeff Harding has such a distinctive style that it's hard to forget he's not reading Jack Reacher. I hung in and just kept listening and it was worth it. Good story that moved along nicely.

The Singer Not The Song

We always love anything Jeff Harding reads, his characterisations and his handling of drama and tension make even an average novel enjoyable. The book kept our interest and had a nice twist at the end, we might think about getting another in this series, if Jeff is reading it, that is.

fantastic narration, good solid story, interesting characters

smooth running despite going backwards and forwards on timeline. despite Van's gruffness and cynical outlook, you like the guy.
