**NOW A MAJOR PRIME TV SERIES STARRING ALAN RITCHSON**

Jack Reacher jumps off a bus and walks fourteen miles down a country road into Margrave, Georgia. An arbitrary decision he's about to regret. Reacher is the only stranger in town on the day they have had their first homicide in thirty years.

The cops arrest Reacher and the police chief turns eyewitness to place him at the scene. As nasty secrets leak out, and the body count mounts, one thing is for sure. They picked the wrong guy to take the fall.

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, Killing Floor is the first audiobook in the internationally popular series. It presents Reacher for the first time, as the tough ex-military cop of no fixed abode: a righter of wrongs, the perfect action hero.

"This was the first Jack Reacher novel and with its lean, spare prose it has one of the most intriguing heroes of our times and displays a gift for explosive drama." (Daily Express)

‘Jeff Harding’s [...] narration captures Reacher’s character perfectly [...] you have to savour every minute.’ The Sunday Times

Critic Reviews

If Rolls-Royce wrote thrillers they would look a lot like the work of Child. This was the first Jack Reacher novel and with its lean, spare prose it has one of the most intriguing heroes of our times and displays a gift for explosive drama
Stunningly dynamic

Overall I liked the story and its progression, development.
But the constant repetition of “he said etc” was unimaginative. Wondering if the rest of the series is the same.

He said, she said, he said

Very addictive story. If I was to quibble l could say that i didn't much like the narrator's strong American accent and had to speed it up a bit, but it was a first rate performance.
