Worth Dying For

Jack Reacher, Book 15

By: Lee Child

Narrated by: Dick Hill

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING JACK REACHER SERIES • Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher!

A heart-racing page-turner that hits the ground running and then accelerates all the way to a colossal showdown

“Jack Reacher is the coolest continuing series character now on offer.”—Stephen King, in Entertainment Weekly

There’s deadly trouble in the corn country of Nebraska . . . and Jack Reacher walks right into it. First he falls foul of the Duncans, a local clan that has terrified an entire county into submission. But it’s the unsolved case of a missing child, already decades old, that Reacher can’t let go.

The Duncans want Reacher gone—and it’s not just past secrets they’re trying to hide. They’re awaiting a secret shipment that’s already late—and they have the kind of customers no one can afford to annoy. For as dangerous as the Duncans are, they’re just the bottom of a criminal food chain stretching halfway around the world.

For Reacher, it would have made much more sense to keep on going, to put some distance between himself and the hard-core trouble that’s bearing down on him. For Reacher, that was also impossible.

Critic reviews

Praise for #1 bestselling author Lee Child and his Reacher series

“Child is a superb craftsman of suspense.”—Entertainment Weekly

“The truth about Reacher gets better and better.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

“Implausible, irresistible Reacher remains just about the best butt-kicker in thriller-lit.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Like his hero Jack Reacher, Lee Child seems to make no wrong steps.”—Associated Press

“Lee Child [is] the current poster-boy of American crime fiction.”—Los Angeles Times

“Indisputably the best escape artist in this escapist genre.”—Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times

“Jack Reacher is much more like the heir to the Op and Marlowe than Spenser ever was.”—Esquire

Reacber never fails

Lee Child never fails to entertain and Worth Dying For is one more fabulous novel in a line of great novels! You might think The Reacher character would be near the end, however Child has upped the anty one more time. I loved this one from start to finish. Worth Dying For has action from start to finish and has no filler in between. Dick Hill is the master of his craft and never so much as Reacher.
Thank you Mr Child for a wonderful ride and please keep them coming.

Classic, Kick-Butt Jack Reacher

If you like Jack Reacher taking care of bad guys, defending women and children and prevailing against seemingly insurmountable odds, you will love the latest installment in the series. The violence is over-the-edge in this one and Reacher's vigilantism pushes the envelope, but Lee Child finally decided to give Reacher fans a large dose of what they long for. Dick Hill did an excellent job with his voice characterizations but I wish the sound editor could equalize the volume of his whispers and screams. Not that I was really in suspense, but we also sort of found out what happened to Reacher at the end of 61 Hours. Thankfully Child didn't feel the need to tease his readers in this one. Nonetheless, I look forward to the next installment.

Reacher rides again!

I love Jack Reacher books and have read them all, this one is one of my favorites. I love his thought processes and how he anticipates what the other guy is going to do and the subtle humor. Dick Hill does an EXCELLENT job of narrating.

good book

good book, very similar to his others though. the story line was not quite a believable either.

Intensity mixed with sadness and redemption!

What did you love best about Worth Dying For?

A mother's willingness to die for her child.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jack Reacher!

What about Dick Hill’s performance did you like?

His intensity keeps me wanting to hear more! I can picture him being animated while narrating. I can imagine him making gestures while his facial expressions and voice communicated the intensity of the story line. Fantastic!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes that would have been great. But I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Any additional comments?

I want more and more series! Keep it coming.
