Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Die Trying is the second book in Lee Child’s internationally popular Jack Reacher series, read by Jeff Harding.

Jack Reacher, alone, strolling nowhere.

A Chicago street in bright sunshine. A young woman, struggling on crutches. Reacher offers her a steadying arm.

And turns to see a handgun aimed at his stomach.

Chained in a dark van racing across America, Reacher doesn't know why they've been kidnapped. The woman claims to be FBI. She's certainly tough enough. But at their remote destination, will raw courage be enough to overcome the hopeless odds?

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, Die Trying is the second in the series.

Always gripping

I love Lee Child stories. Jeff Harding reads to perfection! I have never been disappointed by any of Lee Child's Jack Reacher books.

Have you listened to any of Jeff Harding’s other performances? How does this one compare?

He IS Jack Reacher. His laconic reading style is perfect for these books.

Terrible narration

Narration is ok with exception of when the narrator tries to do female voices. Oh boy! I won't be listening to book 3

Great listen

I’m about 10 books into the Jack Reacher saga and this is one of my favourites. A few more characters than other books so you have to pay attention. Great story that builds up nicely

A lot of filler events

A lot of filler events in this book, it’s not as flows as the first one. It seems as though there was a word found the author had to reach and tried his best to fill in the story more, which in turn made the book hard to navigate and it drags on a bit. Other than that I like the storyline idea it was interesting and funny at times

Where is the real Reacher?

A disappounting story line. Reacher is blocked at every turn, and all attemps to free himself and Holly are in vain until the second last chapter. A frustrating read.
