📖 Lee Child Collection 📖
Similar to Michael Connelly, I've been reading Lee Child books for ages so thought I'd start a series of posts on my Lee Child Collection.
I actually had a reread of Lee Child's first book recently due to @ephedrareads reading it and then the @foliosociety version was in a recent sale so why not eh!
Anyway onto the first in the Jack Reacher series....
Killing Floor
Published: 17 March 1997
"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."
I think this was an excellent introduction to an iconic character, it highlights his intelligence and brutal nature whilst also showing how his own moral compass works. Jack Reacher might be just visiting in search of information on Blues legend Blind Blake (turn sound on!) but something is right in town and Reacher can't leave without sorting it out, especially when things take a personal turn.
The Reacher series gets a lot of stick for its unrealisticness and violence but I normally laugh at that, these books are like reading an action film and sometimes that's just what I need from a book!
I like to have these collection posts as a break up from recent reviews so expect more of the Reacher series going forward... unfortunately they won't all feature beautiful Folio Society versions 🤟
Any Reacher fans out there?
What's your favourite thriller series??
