Book Reviews of Killing Floor (Jack Reacher, No. 1)
Book Review: "...he just kept right on ...killing me softly with his song." Song Lyrics
Summary: 4 Stars
Reacher matches the description of the suspect who shot a man the prior night and is arrested for murder shortly after arriving in Margrove, Georgia.
As he waits in the jail, he speaks to Capt. Finley, newly appointed chief investigator. During their conversation, Finley seems sympathetic while Reacher attempts to convince him of his innocence.
A cell phone is found by the body of the dead man. The phone belongs to a man named Paul Hubble and when questioned, Hubble cracks and confesses to the murder. However, Hubble was at a social event when the murder happened and could not be the killer.
Reacher uses his skills learned when he was with the Military Police and had been a homicide investigator. He has to figure out what is happening in this small town in Georgia. To do this, he has only two people that he can trust, Capt. Finley and an attractive police officer named Roscoe, with whom he becomes romantically involved.
He learns that the scheme has something to do with finance, and, in particular, with counterfeiting. Reacher and his two allies must uncover the scheme and put a stop to the criminals before Sunday because that is when the Coast Guard will relax it's patrolling of the coast.
The characters are well portrayed. Reacher and the honest members of the police force are dedicated, brave and determined. The antagonists are arrogant, brutal and truly evil.
This is the kind of story that, when finished, the reader can sit back, breathe a sigh and congratulate the author for writing an exceptional novel.
