THE FIRST NOVEL IN LEE CHILD'S #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING JACK REACHER SERIES—NOW AN ORIGINAL SERIES ON PRIME VIDEO! “From its jolting opening scene to its fiery final confrontation, Killing Floor is irresistible.”—People 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.

"This is the first of the Jack Reacher novels and I read it fourth in the series. LOL My usual. It's premise is intriguing and the protaganist is very straight-forward. It's interesting how he thinks, but do military people with families really move THAT often? Not in my experience, but perhaps other services do that. In my experience, they tend to leave families in one place for longer periods of time. Nitpicking, I know, but there you are. If that's the most I can think of that seems off, then Mr. Child succeeds in creating a compelling protaganist and plot."

“From its jolting opening scene to its fiery final confrontation, Killing Floor is irresistible.”
— People" Reacher begins his journey. He doesn't take any refugees. "
— abolotsky7, 4/11/2024" Saw the TV show before listening to this book. Thank god I did because with the voice of the narrator I’m imagining a guy in his 60’s and Roscoe in her upper 20’s. With his voice and they way he loves on her made me think of Hugh Hefner with his playboy bunny 40 years younger than him. Love the story. Hate the narrator. "
— Christine, 7/12/2022" I love the Character and the way he is composed. The plot for me was edge of the seat, even though I walk long distances and listen......sometimes walking a little longer just to get to a point in the story where I can end for the day. Jack Reacher (Lee Childs) is a great story and I look forward to reading them all. "
— ChiefredJim, 2/5/2022" another great reacher book almost done with all must have some new ones "
— marsh, 10/15/2020" Love Reacher, good story, the vocal inflections of Dick Hill are irritating and distracting. "
— KC, 2/17/2019" this was my first experience with AudioBookStore.com and Lee Child. Both will bring me back for more. Quick and easy download. Good playback - no issues. I like Lee Child's style and storyline. the move 'Jack Reacher' got my attention, but as always the book exceeded. I look forward to more Jack Reacher adventures. "
— David, 3/28/2018" I love Lee Child's and the Jack Reacher series. These are easy to listen to but complex enough to really get into. "
— Debra, 3/21/2018" These books are good for the beach, airplane or just when you want an easy pleasant read "
— Ellie, 2/11/2014" I was told to try this series awhile ago. I finally got around to it. The first book was fun, quick paced, and exciting. A quick escapist type read. I'll definitely read more of this series. "
— Timothy, 2/2/2014" I don't usually read this kind of book, but it was ok. I'm not rushing out to read the rest of the Jack Reacher series/books, but I might read more in the future. "
— Annie, 1/30/2014" Lee Child is one of my favorite authors and his Jack Reacher character is the main reason. His writing is eminently readable and holds your interest throughout the story. Jack reacher, the main character embodies the qualities I think most people either aspire to or wish they already possessed. His attitude and willingness to put himself out there for his principles are truly inspirational. Sometimes the author may get carried away but overall Jack is one of the most interesting characters in modern action/adventure literature. Highly recommended. "
— Phillip, 1/22/2014" Not a bad detective, brutal, but in the style of old Schwarzenegger movies. A bit unrealistic sometimes (not in action, but in its "detectiveness"), so not too believable. But not boring and easy to read. Will read some more of this author. "
— Andy, 1/17/2014" Doubt Mr. Child has ever been to the ATL. Ever. Still, a good book for long runs. "
— Lalah, 1/16/2014" It's a fun book. Seeing the movie had me get this book. I think it's an interesting life this guy leads. He keeps things simple, even when he's killing someone. "
— Russell, 11/13/2013" Well for fun light reads i have a max rule of 4 stars so 3 is pretty good. A lot of convenient things happened to make it all work, but it was a fun adventure and I'll definitely continue on with the series from time to time. "
— Casey, 7/12/2013" Not a bad first effort. I don't mind the short, choppy sentences and first person narrative. The thing that irked me is the tendency of every character to end their sentence with the word "right?" Someone tell this British writer that we don't do that here. "
— Mike, 3/4/2013" Its they guy's version of a romance/chick lit novel. Action, sex, gore, simplisitc writing style. Not a bad book, but not the most amazing thing i've ever read. "
— Madeline, 6/26/2012" was curious about the "Jack Reacher" character, and I gave him a thumbs up. However, I must say that this is a guy's book...many people die and some in a very nasty manner. Will I read another in the series? Only if I can get the book from the library; I'll save my pennies otherwise. "
— Margaret, 9/7/2011" The cover of this audio book proclaimed this to be an unabridged edition but that turned out not to be the case. There were many obvious gaps. I do plan to try book 2 due to the popularity of the Reacher series. "
— Janice, 12/3/2010" Well....it's preposterous. But it was a fun read on a cold, wet Saturday afternoon. You'll learn a little about counterfeiting as a bonus. Now on to something a bit meatier. "
— James, 5/18/2010" several of my friends were shocked to learn I had never read any Lee Child books. i see why. this was really well done, taunt action, believable, good hero, bad villains, plausible story-line and enough to keep you turning pages when you should be in bed. Got the rest of the series on my TBR now! "
— Michael, 12/29/2009" Good book, gripped me from the start :) I'm new to the Jack Reacher novels and I can see why there was an uproar about casting Tom Cruise as Reacher, what a faux pas! Reacher is a huge presence and I thoroughly enjoyed this book! :) "
— Christine, 7/14/2009" Very easy to read. What I would describe as a good summer holiday book. You don't have to think too much, the story is interesting, and it's fairly fast paced. I found the short sentences a bit annoying, which detracted from my enjoyment. Solid 3.5 stars for me. "
— Kathryn, 6/11/2009" Easy, fast, addictive. Perfect book to start and then find yourself staying up late to finish. "
— Evergreen, 1/6/2009" I didn't love the story. It was only okay, but what really bugged me was the narrator. I didn't care for his voice. Not a good thing for an audio book. "
— Suzie, 12/19/2008" A book to take with you on a vacation - a THRILLER - MYSERTY, INTRIGUE - WELL WRITTEN. There is a whole series of them - don't have to read in order. We trade them around in our Family. YOU WILL BE HOOKED! "
— Margaret, 9/27/2008" "Jack Reacher discovers the daughter of his best military commander and a disfigured Vietnam vet who stole an identity and lived a life of crime in NYC, assisted by his hook hand." "
