Overview
Twenty crime stories by the creator of Jack Reacher, never before collected
For the past twenty years, Lee Child has been one of the bestselling authors in the world, thanks to the popularity of his iconic and instantly recognizable hero Jack Reacher. But even at the height of Reacher’s fame, Child’s short story writing was not confined to the series; throughout the course of his career, he published tales about a range of characters on both sides of the law, including assassins, a body guard, CIA and FBI agents, gangsters, and more. Meticulously plotted and packed with Child’s trademark action and suspense, this collection shows the author’s mastery of the short form.
In “Ten Keys,” a drug-dealing hit man feels that he must unburden his fears and guilt to a stranger. A rookie cop in “Normal in Every Way” is assigned to the department’s file room, where he makes connections to historic dates that could lead to solving crimes. A methodical bodyguard quits his job when he’s outsmarted. A military mission is planned to perfection. A potential worker for the Manhattan Project is carefully surveilled by an FBI agent. A killer preys on other killers. Taken together, these stories are a riotous calamity of criminals and crime fighters; individually, they are expertly crafted, piercing tales that hit hard enough to leave a mark.
Review
This is a set of short stories written by one of my favorite authors, Lee Child. Every one is a bit different but yet, they all seem the same.
Some of these tales I enjoyed more than the others. Now, I am not a fan of short stories but this author is the reason I read these. But, towards the end of these stories, I was ready to move on. Like I always say…read it for yourself and form your own opinion.
The narrator, Edoardo Ballerini, did pretty well with all the different situations and voices.
I received this audiobook from the publisher for a honest review.
