Publisher Description
Brought to you by Penguin.
Blue Moon is the latest instalment in Lee Child's internationally popular Jack Reacher series, read by Jeff Harding.
Shortlisted for the Audible Sounds of Crime Award 2020.
AS FEATURED ON RICHARD & JUDY'S 'KEEP READING AND CARRY ON'
Jack Reacher is back in a brand new white-knuckle listen from Lee Child.
It's a random universe, but once in a blue moon things turn out just right.
In a nameless city, two rival criminal gangs are competing for control. But they hadn't counted on Jack Reacher arriving on their patch.
Reacher is trained to notice things.
He's on a Greyhound bus, watching an elderly man sleeping in his seat, with a fat envelope of cash hanging out of his pocket. Another passenger is watching too ... hoping to get rich quick.
As the mugger makes his move, Reacher steps in.
The old man is grateful, yet he turns down Reacher's offer to help him home. He's vulnerable, scared, and clearly in big, big trouble.
What hold could the gangs have on the old guy? Will Reacher be in time to stop bad things happening?
The odds are better with Reacher involved. That's for damn sure.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
If you want to sample a Jack Reacher story, Blue Moon has all of the hallmarks: a world full of violence, crisp prose, detailed action and a plot that accelerates at the right moments. Lee Child knows exactly what he is doing in this audiobook and so does long time Jack Reacher narrator Jeff Harding, whose always engaging and clever performance captures the intensity of the action. Though Blue Moon has elements of mystery and intrigue, it’s the comforting clarity of seeing the world through the eyes of Jack Reacher that will keep you hooked. A character so staunchly motivated by the moral good and a desire to protect is one we really enjoyed spending time with.
Customer Reviews
Love it
I think we should remember this is Fiction and I for one enjoyed Blue Moon as much as the rest of JR books. If a book can hold my attention from beginning to end it’s a decent book. Jeff Harding is the best Narrator ever.
Run it’s course
Much the same ole’ story, he arrives on a bus sorts out the criminals this time more aggressively and then off he goes again
The worst Reacher
What has happened to Lee Child. The worst book of his. No commitment now to a good story. Seemed to have made Reacher a psychopath as well.
Seriously not helped by the narration. Why does he make an upward inflection at the end of every sentence
