Publisher Description
Jack Reacher visits a town without pity in the first novel in Lee Child’s New York Times bestselling series.
Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is a drifter. He’s just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he’s arrested for murder. Not much of a welcome. All Reacher knows is that he didn’t kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn’t stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The first novel in Lee Child’s epic thriller series is a powerhouse introduction to vigilante drifter Jack Reacher. Falsely arrested for murder while passing through a small town in Georgia, the ex-military policeman tries to get to the bottom of the case himself. Soon, Reacher’s pulled into a criminal underworld that dabbles in everything from brutal killings to counterfeiting. Child makes us instantly root for his hero. With his nerves of steel, ironclad moral code, and loose-cannon personality, Reacher is the kind of guy who makes sure to pay his check in a restaurant—even as he’s being arrested by heavily armed cops. Narrator Dick Hill bring the story to life with gritty, hardboiled flair laced with a perfect hint of irony and a sharp Southern accent. Between Reacher’s rich internal monologue and the array of complex small-town characters, you’ll want to linger on every word. Killing Floor will make the time fly.
Customer Reviews
Great Story
It was an easy listen! Good read if you’re into the action genre with a side of romance
Bad Narrator
I had to stop listening. Narrator sounds like an old man from a 40’s crime show. Sam Spade like. Hal Holbrook comes to mind. Maybe I’m just biased from watching the new Reacher on HBO and have Alan Ritchsons voice in my head.
Needs a different narrator.
Great book, great story but the book is written in first person and the narrator sounds like a 70 year old white man from Harvard. It just doesn’t match the Jack Reacher character. It’s hard to get past.
