Story4 out of 5 stars 129
Thumbing across the scorched West Texas desert, loner Jack Reacher has nowhere to go and all the time in the world to get there. Cruising the same stretch of two-lane blacktop is pretty Carmen Greer. But for Reacher, the lift comes with a hitch. Carmen's got a story to tell, and it's a wild one. All about her husband, her family secrets, and a hometown that's pure Gothic. She's also got a plan. Jack Reacher's part of it. And before the sun sets, this ride could cost them both their lives.

Jack Reacher was alone, the way he liked it, soaking up the hot, electric New York City night, watching a man cross the street to a parked Mercedes and drive it away. The car contained one million dollars in ransom money. And Edward Lane, the man who paid it, will pay even more to get his family back. Lane runs a highly illegal soldiers-for-hire operation. He will use any amount of money and any tool to find his beautiful wife and child. And then he’ll turn Jack Reacher loose with a vengeance - because Reacher is the best man hunter in the world.

Everything starts somewhere. For elite military cop Jack Reacher, that somewhere was Carter Crossing, Mississippi, way back in 1997. A young woman is dead, and solid evidence points to a soldier at a nearby military base. But that soldier has powerful friends in Washington. Reacher is ordered undercover - to find out everything he can, to control the local police, and then to vanish. Reacher is a good soldier. But when he gets to Carter Crossing, he finds layers no one saw coming, and the investigation spins out of control. Local sheriff Elizabeth Deveraux has a thirst for justice - and an appetite for secrets.

Four people in a car, hoping to make Chicago by morning. An hour behind them, a man lies stabbed to death in an old pumping station. He was seen going in with two others, but he never came out.

But he soon discovers he has hitched more than a ride.

Two other men are in the classroom - an FBI agent and a CIA analyst. Each is a first-rate operator, each is fresh off a big win, and each is wondering what the hell they are doing there. Then they find out: A jihadist sleeper cell in Hamburg, Germany, has received an unexpected visitor - a Saudi courier seeking safe haven while waiting to rendezvous with persons unknown.

my review
- By Anonymous User on 2017-12-31
Written by: Lee Child
Publisher's Summary
Across the country women are being murdered by a killer who leaves no evidence, no fatal wounds, no signs of struggle, and no clues to a motive. They are, truly, perfect crimes. In fact, the only thing that links the victims is the man they all knew: Jack Reacher.
What the critics say
“Reacher is one of the more interesting suspense heroes to come along in a while.” (San Antonio Express News)
“Jack Reacher, the wandering folk hero of Child’s superb line of thrillers faces a baffling puzzle in his latest adventure…a brain-teasing puzzle that gets put together piece by fascinating piece...and a central character with Robin Hood-like integrity and an engagingly eccentric approach to life.” (Publishers Weekly)
“Deeply satisfying...plan to stay up long past bedtime and do some serious hyperventilating toward the end.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Terrible narration. Could not wait to finish this book and not in a good way. The story itself was interesting but every time the narrator had to read the part of a woman it was grating on the ears. Also the writing could have been better.

narrative distracting
If you could sum up Running Blind in three words, what would they be?
good,smart, story
What was one of the most memorable moments of Running Blind?
When they discovered what the appliance boxes actually contained.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Jonathan McClain?
maybe
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Jack Reacher races to save the painted ladies...
Any additional comments?
I love Jack Reacher books, and this one delivers.

Poor narration
I usually listen to audiobooks during long drives for my job. I’ve listened to all the Reacher books that Audible has except those narrated by Johnathan McClain... I believe books #2-4 in the series. Usually when I listen to an audiobook I get lost in the story not paying any particular attention to the performance. With McClain’s books, I’ve started them but can’t get past the poor narration... makes it difficult to follow the characters and stay engaged while driving.

Not My Favorite Reacher...
It seems like the story was weak and fluffed up . The plot wasn't that great and the punchline was weaker. Seems to be something that was written without much thought. Dissappointed....hope the next is better.

My eyes hurt from rolling
I am a huge fan of the character Jack Reacher, but the books can be a hit or miss. Lee Child tends to walk a tightrope of "plausible" vs. "everyone but Jack is a drooling idiot." He didn't do so well in the first book, did very well in the second two and then tipped off the later edge into abject crap in this one. Seriously, the FBI are a bunch of lying, rights-violating, vicious morons. Jack is kind of being an ass himself and the story is painfully lackluster. I had to force myself to finish it, because I paid for it, but I am going to be very selective about reading all reviews and not reading the JR series in order anymore - rather reading the books where people aren't suffering from the same "this is so stupid" eye rolling headaches I did during this book.

Not Lee Child's best
What would have made Running Blind better?
Take out the annoying nasal narration for some of the characters.
Has Running Blind turned you off from other books in this genre?
No. I think just a one off for Child. Maybe he had a balloon mortgage payment coming up and dashed this one out.
Which character – as performed by Jonathan McClain – was your favorite?
Reacher - but he was overly sarcastic at times.
Any additional comments?
**SPOILER ALERT!!!** **SPOILER ALERT!!!****SPOILER ALERT!!!** Too easy to solve. Got it in the first 3rd. I think I may have liked better if I had read it instead of listening. The narrator's soft voice and genderless personal pronouns gave away that the killer was a woman. The robotic responses of the victims responses indicated that they were hypnotized.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Only if you are die hard to read the series then you need to read all.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
The story line was good but falls completely apart a the end.
Any additional comments?
I feel like this book had a good story line and some surprises that I didn't see coming. I was very disappointed by the ending. I don't know who this Reacher guy is at the end of the book. For a tough know it all he just rolls over.

Merits and Demerits
The story line was quite good overall altough a little bit transparent. It contained interesting twists and turns but, unlike the other Reacher books I have listened to so far, I found that I could see more of them coming in advance than I am accustomed to.
The narrator was good.
I was severely put-off by the FBI characters. All fiction requires some greater or lesser degree of suspension of disbelief and I'm usually pretty tolerant where that's concerned. But the FBI charaters were beyond my considerable ability to suspend. I don't think it even slightly plausible that they are as stupid, rigid or devoid of ethics as portrayed. That hand was seriously over-played.

Good story. Horrible narrator.
Awsome story line. Can not say the same about the narrator. He made the federal agents sound like complete idiots. I'm excited that Dick Hill is the narrator for the next book.

Could have been much better
What would have made Running Blind better?
Not as enjoyable as the other Jack Reacher Series books that I've heard. Main story idea was fine. The FBI characters were written and portraied as obnoxious and stupid. That, and the overall narration, were strong distraction as I lisened.
What do you think your next listen will be?
I'll probably continue with the Jack Reacher Series until I tire.
Have you listened to any of Jonathan McClain’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is a McClain narration. I did not care for his performance.
What character would you cut from Running Blind?
Make the law enforcement characters seem more professional.
Any additional comments?
No.

noooooo the ending :(
Would you listen to Running Blind again? Why?
No. Its a mystery. Really no point unless i forget the story.
Would you recommend Running Blind to your friends? Why or why not?
No. There are better reacher books.
What does Johnathan McClain bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The sense of attitude and ego is just PERFECT.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. i just HAD to know how it ended.
Any additional comments?
Story was wound so tight. i was DYING to figure at the mystery. It was such a let down.. :( worst Reacher book so far just for that. man... such a let down.
