Killing Floor

A nice first book in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child. The book was entertaining and Jack's character is easy to like and connect with. There were however several critical flaws in the story line and plot, which made some of the plot twists unrealistic and very sketchy. As a first book, this can be understandable and maybe common. Will give Jack Reacher another try. Audiobook narration however was often painful to hear, especially when narrating the female voices like Officer Roscoe and others. It would clearly have been better or easier to have a few different narrators for the male and female parts.

Great book. Suspense is an understatement!

Love Jack Reacher series Highly recommended

Loved this book. Did take a minute to warm up to it, but once I did I? couldn’t stop listening and reading along! Can’t wait to pick up the next book!

This book made me think I was reading a fantasy novel for men. Seemed a bit on the ridiculous side to me and quite pompous. Narrator was paired well to it. Quite dramatic and pompous narration.

Good book, enjoyed and entertaining . Great first book????

I really enjoyed this book. I have read several of the Jack Reacher books and love his character. Lee Child gives him life, personality and believability. I didn't realize it was Mr. Child's first Reacher book, but I don't care about that. I read a book when presented with the opportunity. I, too, have a serious problem with the narrator. His voice, while giving very good narration, sounded old. This made it difficult to listen to. It's just like the Jack Reacher movie. A 6'4" man being played by one barely over 5'. I won't even go see the movie. Mr. Child, please put more thought into the people who portray this very lifelike character of yours.

Excellent first novel I can't wait to read the next one!
