Jack in a Box

The Hunt for Jack Reacher Series, Book 2

Exciting short listen!

Hunting Jack Reacher is dangerous business. Reacher lives totally off the grid, but he has friends - and enemies - in high places

Lee Child gives this series two thumbs up!

"Full of thrills and tension, but smart and human, too. Kim Otto is a great, great character - I love her." (Lee Child, number-one worldwide best-selling author of Jack Reacher thrillers)

FBI Special Agents Kim Otto and Carlos Gaspar have received a special off-the-books assignment: Build a secret file on Jack Reacher. Otto and Gaspar reveal a bit of themselves as they make every effort to put Jack in a Box. Reacher fans know that no one boxes with Jack and lives to tell about it. Will Otto and Gaspar be the first to succeed when so many have failed?

New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Diane Capri brings her insider knowledge to bear on her friend Lee Child's iconic character. Have you joined the hunt for Jack Reacher yet?

Expected more

Disappointed that I paid the same as a full novel and just received a small amount of entertainment.

Short

This book should have been the opening chapter of a Reecher novel. Disappointment is an understatement.

why so short

Didn't realize book os only an hour long. Actually it doesn't add much, if anything, to the story of finding Jack.

Short Story?

I listened to YOU DON’T KNOW JACK. I was an interesting concept. I tried JACK IN A BOX. What? It was over as soon as it started.

Expensive for just one hour and 40 minutes

Again Jack Reacher doesn’t appear in the story
There is less description and more dialogue, making the story more lively than with the original author.
But the two main characters are the opposite of Jack Reacher, which will disappoint some readers. While Reacher is physically imposing, a good shooter and fighter, the two characters in this book are just ordinary agents: the female character is only 90 pounds while the male character has a limp. They possess no superior skills of any kind, contrary to Reacher
