But it doesn't take long for the footloose ex-military policeman to discover that there are plenty of strange--and very dangerous--things going on behind Margrave's manicured lawns and clean streets that demand his attention. This first thriller by a former television writer features some of the best-written scenes of action in recent memory, a crash course in currency and counterfeiting, and a hero who is just begging to be called on for an encore. Product Description: All is not well in Margrave, Georgia. The sleepy, forgotten town hasn't seen a crime in decades, but within the span of three days it witnesses events that leave everyone stunned. An unidentified man is found beaten and shot to death on a lonely country road. The police chief and his wife are butchered on a quiet Sunday morning. Then a bank executive disappears from his home, leaving his keys on the table and his wife frozen with fear. The easiest suspect is Jack Reacher - an outsider, a man just passing through. But Reacher is not just any drifter. He is a tough ex-military policeman, trained to think fast and act faster. He has lived with and hunted the worst: the hard men of the American military gone bad. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Classic Child, Vintage ReacherI've been a big Lee Child fan, but if you're like me, following a few recent outings ranging from the mediocre ("Bad Luck and Trouble") to the abysmal ("Nothing to Lose"), you may be asking: "Is Child losing his edge, or have my standards changed that much?" So to find out, I went back and re-read Child's first Jack Reacher carnival of violence, "Killing Floor", originally published in 1997. My conclusion: it is Child who has changed: "Killing Floor", even when read the second time, is an adrenaline ... Read More Rating: - killing floorIt didn't matter that I read Killing floor last instead of first. It was still a very good book and a nice intro to Jack Reacher, this is another series that I really like and have collected. Jack Reacher is unique and fun, it's nice to follow someone that you really don't know from one book to the next where he will be, that is some of the appeal of Reacher, you just never know, a man without a home base, there's no telling where he'll wind up, or what kind of messes he'll end up in. Rating: - More personal info on ReacherEven though I grumble when action movies or 'tough shows' like Law & Order lapse into what I consider to be soap opera (what artistes call 'character development'), I must confess that I LOVED learning more about Reacher's brother. He's a less huge, more thoughtful version of Reacher, a well dressed treasury agent. I don't think I'm giving away the plot to tell you that the murder victim early in the book is Reacher's brother. Maybe Lee Child will write another book that's a retrospective ... Read More Rating: - Show me the money.Eno's was local, very local. In a small southern town like Margrave, Georgia, everyone knows eachother. It was law. Southern hospitality welcomed strangers, wanderers, riffraff, ramblers. So when Jack Reacher saw the local PD come at the diner like hell on wheels, well, they were there for him. Had to be. Locals, they'd get a quiet reprimand, and eased out slowly, no fuss, no mess. And so it begins. Jack Reacher, late thirties, tall, lean, buzzed cut that said military every ... Read More Rating: - the best one of the Reacher seriesAs far as thrillers go this was very good. The characters were deep and enthralling, keeping your interest all the way through. There was enough suspense to keep you turning the pages, and plenty of action. If you enjoy Lee Child`s Jack Reacher books then this will please you. I`m a series fan and enjoy Child and Michael Connelly books immensely, if you like that kind of thriller read the `Soft Target` books by Conrad Jones. They are unputdownable!! Back to the review, ten out of ten.
