Summary
They thought they could get away with murder, but then Keeler showed up.
Ex-Special Forces operator Tom Keeler is a rambling man. He’s just passing through the town of Alencourt, France, and in less than an hour, someone tries to kill him. Nice place, nice try. But it’s a case of mistaken identity, and they picked the wrong guy. The French police can’t be trusted, except for the beautiful Cecile Nazari. She finds out fast that keeping up with Keeler is a dangerous occupation. Because someone’s preying on the weak and unprotected. Someone murderous. But they never counted on coming up against a guy like Keeler.

Excellent listen if you are a fan of Jack Reacher
I mean this as a compliment, this is so close to Reacher that if you changed the name from Tom Keeler to Jack Reacher and juiced Keeler up a little, I wouldn't be able to tell that this wasn't written by Lee Child. I am a massive Reacher fan and have listened to (and read) all of the books in the series, and this is ridiculously close (in a good way). Keeler is like a slightly dialled down Reacher, and some of the writing is very good and also similar to Lee Child. I have to say that you could definitely do worse if you (like me) are desperately craving a Reacher fix and need something similar to listen to.

It's as good as Reacher
I have read every Jack Reacher. I loved them. this is just as good, helped by the reader, who also read Reacher, and uses the same way of reading it. But for the name of the leading man, it could welk have been Reacher. it's a bit of a slow start, so are some Reacher's, I want more.

Poor copycat version of Jack Reacher series
This is Lee Child by numbers. Cynical ex-army vet, just retired, with intent to wander aimlessly, travelling very light, gets attacked and easily fights off three knife-wielding men before the end of the first chapter. He's having sex with a lusty woman police officer a couple of chapters later. His mother was French. Hmmm... see a pattern here? Reacher's mother was French too. Except it's not written as well as Lee Child used to write. It lacks pace, plot or, crucially, jeopardy. I didn't like or care about any of the characters. Jeff Harding did his best. But it was dull, dull, dull. I gave up in the end.

Out reachered!
Can’t deny the similarities but Tom Keeler is subtlety different. I love the way Jack Lively evolves the story. Simple set of circumstances to start with then it starts to gather pace and momentum as the clues make themselves known and you are enveloped in the story eager to hear what happens next. jL doesn’t reveal everything at once but strings you along on the journey and you’re never quite sure if you got the villain correct until well into the last quarter and it all comes together beautifully with a punch. As for Jeff Harding, I think he is one of the best narrators around - he could read the telephone book and I would settle in to listen.

Reacher Carbon Copy
Really enjoyable story,If you like Jack Reacher this is a blatant rip off of that series even down to the fact they're using the same narrator.Definitely worth a listen if you're missing your Jack Reacher fix.

Very Jack Reacher
very similar to the Jack reacher books but an excellent stand alone read/listen. Characterisations were brilliant

Copycat
The narrator is not the only thing this book shares with Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series. It’s annoying that it appears to be a copy of someone else’s work, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth listening to.

If you’ve liked Jack Reacher!
Thoroughly enjoyed it! Reminded me of the Jack reacher books, especially as read by Jeff Harding👍
Jeff Harding was what I put in my search bar, as I find he puts the effort in to the characters.
And after listening to all the Jack Reacher series read by him, I moved on to the Charlie Parker series read by him again, and just finished all 19, and can’t wait for the next Charlie Parker novel off John Connolly.
Off to listen to book two in the Tom Keeler series 😜

It’s faux-Reacher. Even down to the French mom
But it’s not Reacher.
The story was fine, the performance and narration is decent but it’s ‘off’ because it is just so obviously a copy cat of Reacher - and it’s not as good.
I’m going to listen to the others because why not? But I won’t rush to do so.
