Across the country women are being murdered by a killer who leaves no evidence, no fatal wounds, no signs of struggle, and no clues to a motive. They are, truly, perfect crimes. In fact, the only thing that links the victims is the man they all knew: Jack Reacher.

Critic reviews

“Reacher is one of the more interesting suspense heroes to come along in a while.” (San Antonio Express News)

“Jack Reacher, the wandering folk hero of Child’s superb line of thrillers faces a baffling puzzle in his latest adventure…a brain-teasing puzzle that gets put together piece by fascinating piece...and a central character with Robin Hood-like integrity and an engagingly eccentric approach to life.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Deeply satisfying...plan to stay up long past bedtime and do some serious hyperventilating toward the end.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Awsome story line. Can not say the same about the narrator. He made the federal agents sound like complete idiots. I'm excited that Dick Hill is the narrator for the next book.

Good story. Horrible narrator.

What made the experience of listening to Running Blind the most enjoyable?

The story line was great and McClain brought it to life.

What did you like best about this story?

I enjoyed the many twists to the story line, just when it would start to get lost in details a new turn was added. I also liked the attitude towards the FBI.

Which character – as performed by Jonathan McClain – was your favorite?

Reacher was my favorite character, what guy doesn't see himself as the tragic hero.

Any additional comments?

I will be listening to this again.

Another solid, thrilling Reacher tale, with all I've come to enjoy about Child's lonely hero. But the narration here is either awful, or I'm spoiled by Dick Hill, who has become Reacher for me (far more than Tom Cruise ever will). It just doesn't sound right.

Reacher is always better with DIck Hill

It was a great book, Lee identifies how simple liberties are violated by our government and they do not care at all. I find it interesting that a Supreme Court can rule that the government can lie to us, but we cannot lie to them or it is obstruction of justice.

Don't stomp on my LIBERTY!

I couldn't wait to listen every day when I walked, cleaned house and drove in the car. Very engaging plot. I was amused that Reacher had one pair of clothes and underwear for the whole story. Yet, he had every woman falling all over him. He went weeks without new clothes or washing them....hmmmm.

Great Read

The Jack Reacher character wasn't to bad, but all the other characters voices were irritating.

Great story. Did not like the narrator.

I loved the story but never did I see that twist COMING. Very impressive. Amazing twist and turns.

OMG NEVER SAW THAT COMING

The story was good. The narration was top notch. Reacher was, well, Reacher was Reacher. I enjoyed it.

Good story.

Reacher always keeps me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait for the next one. The narrator was excellent as always.

Chill never disappoints with Jack Reacher!
