Amy 
mystery, action/suspense
I really liked this one--Running Blind. (The only Jack Reacher novels I blog about are my favorite ones.) It was very suspenseful. It was never boring and I wanted to keep listening to the audio book every chance I got. The thing I like the least about murder mysteries is when the reader is forced into the killer's head. I don't like to see the ugliness up too closely. This was borderline too close because we were given many peeks into the killer's point of view. But, the way this story was crafted was very clever so I tolerated it. And Reacher seemed more like himself than in book 3. Well done, Lee Child. Well done indeed.
The narrator, Johnathan McClain, bugged me a bit. While his voice sounded more appropriate for Reacher's age than the narrator from the first novel in the series, the tone he used for Julia Lamarr was overly annoying and his female voices, overall, weren't great. I'll give him an A-. I just realized that I heard him narrate These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner previously and I thought he was perfect for that story.
