Review: Killing Floor

Killing Floor by Lee Child
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Three ways I've heard about Lee Child: 1. Jack Reacher novels, one of which had a movie made starring Tom Cruise (I think it was on One Shot, 5th novel in the series). 2. Recommending several mystery novels, all of which I loved. 3. The recent release of Blue Moon.

So it was no surprise I wanted to read the jack reacher novels as quickly as possible. Although I joined late, I was eager to have an opinion on his novels and love them too.

And I loved this one. A lot.

So let me explain.

The cover -A red, blood soaked handprint on the front (I had a different edition). So scary yet it intrigued some mystery fangirl in me to continue reading it. Made me wonder about the mystery of the red handprint. Hence why the point.

The summary - Jack Reacher is an ex-military police man. And recently he's become free from his service of 13 years. Drifting from one town to another was his life. But with how Fate is known to screw shit up, poor Reacher gets arrested for a crime he never committed. Time is running out to save himself and the town which has no idea about the oncoming disaster it's to face.

Sounds fascinating? Great, then you're on the same boat as me. I thought it was pretty fantastic too for a mystery. Hence why the point.

The mystery itself - You know what they say: Money makes the world go round. And in this case, it's no different. I won't delve into the mystery itself a lot, but the way Jack uncovers the spies, the operation itself is pretty interesting and will certainly keep you up, reading all day and night. That I guarantee for sure. Hence why the point.

The characters - Jack is definitely something of an enigma and he's the strong, silent, brooding type but intelligent and handy for sure. Roscoe was special too, sigh what a smart cookie she was. The rest of the characters were all suspicious, something to worry about for sure. All so well-developed and all. Gosh I loved every minute of this novel. Hence why another point.

The ending -Although it didn't work out for Roscoe and Jack (spoiler, whoops), it all ends well, with justice reigning supreme. You will not be disappointed. Hence why the final point.

So a must read for sure. You will love it, guaranteed.

PS: I will definitely check out the rest of the books in the series. So yeah.

Until the next read,
