Running Blind by Lee Child
4.0
This is the 4th book in the series. There’s some continuation of Jack’s personal life from the last book - but the mystery/suspense/thriller arc is completely started & resolved here, so this can be read on its own.
I really liked this one. The FBI seeks Jack’s help because the victims are all former service women who Jack interacted with during his time as an MP. Though the FBI already has thoughts about motive & a potential profile, Jack comes at it from a different direction. Add in being reluctantly partnered with newish agent and its an intriguing dynamic.
While I had ideas and guesses, I wasn’t sure about who the killer was until the same time Jack & Harper were. There are sections from the killer’s perspective, but they’re anonymous so it just gave an eerie quality while everyone else was scrambling to save whatever other women might be killed.
In a personal front, Jack’s relationship with Jodie is strained by his wanderlust and her long work hours. Frankly, I kind of prefer him as a wanderer and like what looks like a death to ideas of him being in a static home base.
Narration:
Again enjoyed Johnathan McClain’s narration.
