About this listen
Random House presents the audiobook edition of the short story The Christmas Scorpion by Lee Child, read by Jeff Harding.
Jack Reacher likes to head south for the winter, to stay warm: so just before Christmas he arrives in a small town in Southern California. But the weather there is not warm and dry, as it’s supposed to be: he arrives in a freak blizzard. Reacher finds refuge in a snowed-in roadhouse with four other strangers stranded by the storm. Two of them are British military police, separated by the weather from the VIP they are detailed to protect. Can Reacher help them find their guy, or will an undercover assassin find him first?

This novella is Clever and way too short!
I’m not sure how much more could’ve been added to this novella, but I totally understand why previous reviewers have opined that it’s too short. It is short, but it’s a very clever story.
Perhaps it could have been padded by an extra scene at the Barracks, but to be honest, there. Wouldn’t have been a story at all if Reacher hadn’t pitched up! It seemed strange to have the confrontation out in the open, but I’m sure that there was a good reason.
Please be aware that this is a novella and don’t moan about ‘wasting’ a credit to get it.

Short and sweet
This was a short story, basically, the Jack Reacher Christmas special. The story was a little silly near the end but enjoyable, Jeff Harding superb as always. I certainly enjoyed it a whole lot more than "The Fourth Man".

Reacher's Scooby Doo Ending!
Excellent, I don't normally spend the money on short stories but after reading the collection a while back I fancied a little bit of Reacher to tide me over until the next one. I'm actually glad I did!
This is classic Reacher, a Reacher being obstinate with authority conversation and some of his clever investigation with a suitably daft plot and a little bit of action all squeezed into a little over thirty minutes of Jeff Harding's excellent portrayal of Reacher and his fellow characters.
The ending really is all a bit Scooby Doo but why not? It is the Christmas Scorpion after all!
