In Too Deep

A Reacher Novel

By: Lee Child, Andrew Child

Narrated by: Scott Brick

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A gripping Jack Reacher thriller from the bestselling authors Lee Child and Andrew Child

Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher!

Reacher had no idea where he was. No idea how he had gotten there. But someone must have brought him. And shackled him. And whoever had done those things was going to rue the day. That was for damn sure.

Jack Reacher wakes up alone, in the dark, handcuffed to a makeshift bed. His right arm has suffered some major damage. His few possessions are gone. He has no memory of getting there.

The last thing Reacher can recall is the car he hitched a ride in getting run off the road. The driver was killed.

His captors assume Reacher was the driver’s accomplice and patch up his wounds as they plan to make him talk.

A plan that will backfire spectacularly . . .

Critic reviews

“Jack Reacher is back with In Too Deep, the latest no-nonsense, punch ’em if they can’t stay decent thriller from Lee Child and Andrew Child.”—Parade

“The 29th installment of the Reacher series feels fresh, with a mid-book twist that keeps the pages turning.”—The Washington Post

“Fast action, bold but well-thought-out moves, fast-paced writing, and a hero who wants to be involved to help others.”—New York Journal of Books

Clearly a different writer

I kept thinking, this just doesn't sound like reacher... I've read and listened to the entire series and this one just felt clunky. I was excited to hear the series would continue beyond Lee Childs' stepping back/retiring (?), but this book missed the mark. Scott Brick is amazing, hands down, but even his performance couldn't keep me from questioning who this new Reacher character was.

Had this been a totally different lead character, not Reacher, I may have written a different review.

Yawn

Story line is so slow. The reading over dramatic. Hard to keep up with all the conversations

Rather rambling

A rather tedious book in my opinion. The book just seemed to go on and on.

Story is great, but Brick is an AWFUL narrator

Talk about over-acting!! Scott Brick has to be the worst narrator on all of Audible. I have no idea how he keeps getting work.

Not Great

I have read or listened to every single Reacher books. These last few havent been that great. I really miss Dick Hill narrating Scott Brick is Ok but Dick Hill was so much better.These last few books seem to be missing something. I started listenig to Jack Widow and that seems more Reacher than Reacher.

Confusing plot, over dramatized in the audio.

Was eager for the next Reacher book, but was quickly disappointed and found that I was not looking forward to resuming my listening to the book. Plot was not well developed, seemed confusing, and the characters were not easy to like or dislike. Really bothered by the reading by Scott Brick who has been great in so many other books... he made every sentence seemed way too dramatic, like it should have an exclamation mark after it; seems like a small point, but to me it was really tiring. Overall, this was by far the least enjoyable book in the Reacher series.

always exciting always entertaining

fun book with characters that pleased and a storyline that was fun. Scott Bruck is always masterful in recreating the Reacher experience. Dick Hill will always be the voice of Jack Reacher for me however, Mr. Brick is one of exception.

Worth reading

I really like that some parts of the story were more realistic. The women were less of sex objects and Reacher’s interaction with them were more realistic, human. I thought they dealt with changes in technology with skill. There were some parts that just didn’t feel quite like Reacher. The relationship with the FBI was awkward. One the whole, I am glad it was produced and that I got to enjoy it.

Earlier disclosure

Overall … classic Reacher. This is the first Reacher book where either the plot dragged a little too long and/or critical info could have been revealed earlier. Overall though it was good.

In Too Deep

I enjoyed the book. Scott Brick had another excellent performance. thanks to all of the Child family contributions as well as the staff at Randoms house.
