Evening all,

I’ve never been a big reader but about 12 months ago a friend introduced me to Borrowbox.

At work I listen to a couple of books per week. I like Jack Reacher, retired army guy, likes a scrap, solves a problem, fights a gang and that type of thing.

I’ve listened to most of them now and wondered if you could recommend any similar style audiobooks?

Thanks

It's not my kind of thing, but there's a stload of Jason Bourne books by Robert Ludlum et al.

ETA, not sure if they're on audiobook though. Sorry. smile

Have a look through the Jack Reacher - Any good? thread. It's on page 1 (on my PC!) of this B&L forum.
As threads do it meanders into other things esp. similar characters.
I'm reading a Matt Hilton Joe Hunter one a.t.m., if those have been audi-ised smile

The Orphan X books are pretty good. Similar fast paced easy listening to the Reacher books

Robert Crais' Elvis Cole and Joe Pike series would be good I imagine. If they've done any. The books are.

There's the Spider Shepherd series by Stephen Leather which is similar(ish) to Jack Reacher style book....

Try an author called James Lee Burke. He has a series featuring a detective called Dave Robicheaux.
I really enjoy them. Available on Audible.
