Killing Floor - Lee Child
So, I made it two weeks and four books since my last Jack Reacher book, but the promise of five hours on a plane pulled this off of the shelf. This is actually the first appearance of Jack (even if a latter novel went back to his military days) and at this point he’s been out of the Special Investigators for just six months. While sitting at a diner in Margrave, Georgia, Jack is arrested for murder, a shock given his appearance ten minutes earlier. The town is immaculate, thanks to the mysterious Kliner foundation located at the city limits, and even after Reacher is cleared, he finds himself involved with the mystery and Roscoe, a local cop. This novel is written in the first person, unlike the others I’ve read, which gives interesting insight to the character. These books can be picked up in any order, but I really enjoyed seeing the beginning of Reacher.
