Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.

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

Jack Reacher, adrift in the hellish heat of a Texas summer.

Looking for a lift through the vast empty landscape. A woman stops, and offers a ride. She is young, rich and beautiful.

But her husband's in jail. When he comes out, he's going to kill her.

Her family's hostile, she can't trust the cops, and the lawyers won't help. She is entangled in a web of lies and prejudice, hatred and murder.

Jack Reacher never could resist a lady in distress.

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, Echo Burning is 5th in the series.


"Complete with crackling fast dialogue, an edgy ambivalent plot, and the capacity to make his readers turn the page, this feels like Child's breakthrough book into the mega-sellers. He is that good." (Daily Mail)

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

Brilliant!


The truly awful thing about this book is that it's very likely based on fact. Which reminds one that no amount of legislation will ever conquer entrenched prejudice and bigotry.
All the gods be thanked for men like Reacher!
Or should I say? - writers like Lee Child.

Prejudice reigns in Texas.

Enjoyable. If you know Reacher then perhaps a little predictable, but it holds it pace through to the end.

Good story, great performance

Not the best Reacher episode, but a great performance pulls it up. Glad I listened as I'm working my way through the Reacher series, but it probably won't be one I listen to again.

echo?

Because I started reading Reacher books I picked up on holiday I've read them all out of order. I find now I've read this one already but I couldn't tell. Not even an echo. Enjoyed it though .

just reacher

What can I say. Another gripping book from a master, both the storyline and the characters are superbly developed. Superbly written and narrated , I was captivated from start to finish; it had me both wanting to see what happened and at the sand time not wanting it to end. Highly recommended.

Good, but not his best

it took what seemed like an age to get going and the deduction for Reacher's conclusion did not fully appear rational.

Lee Child is a master storyteller

Jack Reacher books are sold every nine seconds on the planet. This one is one of the best in the series. Exciting and funny. Some men are so described deliciously stupid I had to laugh out loud and ‘Reacher said nothing’. Recommended.
