Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.

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

March 1997. A woman has her throat cut behind a bar in Mississippi.

Just down the road is a big army base. Is the murderer a local guy - or is he a soldier?

Jack Reacher, still a major in the military police, is sent in undercover.

The county sheriff is a former U.S. Marine - and a stunningly beautiful woman. Her investigation is going nowhere. Is the Pentagon stonewalling her? Or is she trying not to find the killer?

Set just six months before the opening of Killing Floor, The Affair marks a turning point in Reacher's career.

If he does what the army wants, will he be able to live with himself? And if he doesn't, will the army be able to live with him?

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, The Affair is 16th in the series.

'There's only one Jack Reacher. Accept no substitutes.' Mick Herron

Really enjoyed this story. Had a couple of twists that I didn't quite expect and as my first Jack Reacher novel, I really enjoyed it and am now trying to pick which one to order next!

Which character – as performed by Jeff Harding – was your favourite?

Jeff Harding is perfect as Reacher, deep booming voice. His female characters take a bit of getting used to, but once you get into the story it's good.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, this listen flew by.

Gripping, suspenseful Reacher

Liked the story a lot whilst almost a Mills&Boone it was a good look into how Reacher became Reacher had guessed the ending half way through but still a great read/listen

A good story but dragged on a bit

having read the entire series I went back to this. wasn't disappointed at all. Reacher is already a surly and cynical bruiser, it feeds right into the killing floor.

Solid Reacher story

love the book, best one for a while. loved how it ties into the first book.

Performance overall pretty good. a one maybe two fluffed lines and the occasional page turn. could probably have had a tighter edit, but nothing bad enough to spoil it.
