I couldn't get past 60 minutes of this book. Unfortunately, since I didn't purchase it with a credit, I can't return it, which seems like a serious flaw in the Audible return policy. Such a waste of money.

I have not disliked a book as much as this one in a long time. Dominic, the 45 year old male protagonist, has zero redeeming qualities. I kept waiting for some clue that he was a sympathetic character, and there was none. I kept hoping that Ali would show some back bone and dump him, but that didn't happen. The only reason I listened until the last 10 minutes is because I used a credit on this. Do yourself a favor and choose something else.

The story might have been engaging enough to listen to, but the narrator is terrible. I couldn't finish the book because I was cringing at the narration.

I love a suspense story that keeps me guessing throughout the book. Just when I thought I had everything figured out, a new twist sent me back to guessing again. Both narrators are excellent--so much so that I listened to the entire book in two days. Definitely worth a credit.

Love Reacher but hate this book

As previous reviewers have noted, a large part of the problem of this book is the narrator's rendition of Reacher with a broken nose. On top of that, the plot is boring. I listened until I only had two hours of the book left, and I couldn't take it anymore. I didn't care what happened to the characters...even after 12 hours of time invested into their story. The FBI agents were caricatures of bumbling, inept police. Leave it to Reacher to step into the gap--except 12 hours into the book, he still hadn't. I've loved this series, but this book is terrible. Save your money and get something else.

After reading some reviews of Bohjalian's new novel, I was looking forward to an eerie story to ease my work commute. Unfortunately, halfway through the story I am bogged down by my extreme dislike of the second person point of view that pops up in every other chapter. Each time the story switches to Chip Linton's point of view, I am distanced from the story because I hear the narrator saying "You" when he's talking about Chip. I find it so distracting that I've actually taken to fast forwarding through these chapters of the book. It's a shame because I think I would have been drawn into the story if the author had chosen to use the first person instead.
