Expected more

I like Lee Child, have listened to a number of his books in the car, find them engaging and an easy listen.

Tried a number of these stories, but the short story format didn't grab me. A showcase of talent it may be, but I didn't get it.

Short stories (not for me)

None of the stories grabbed my attention nor did the narration keep me interested enough
