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

Customer Reviews
Not the best reacher booker
Didn’t enjoy the female characters in this book, thought they were very superficial and almost manipulative to the point of frustration. The voice of female character was also ridiculous. Not a good portrayal of domestic abuse or women.
A ridiculous plot
This was such a ridiculous plot I gave up 20% in. And for some reason, Jeff Harding’s female character voice just grated on my nerves this time around.
