Killing Floor

My first meeting with Jack Reacher of a popular series of books by Lee Child.

Jack is wandering here and there and ends up in a small boring town. Or so he thinks. He is quickly involved in a recent murder and jailed. Things went from bad to worse from there.

I enjoyed the book, not so much all the lovey dovey stuff between Jack and a small town policewoman, last name Roscoe. It didn't round his character out for me, but maybe this is just the start that will flesh out better in coming books. i did enjoy the two old barbers who have small but interesting parts.

I wasn't disappointed by the action. There was lots of it and lots of blood and small town secrets. Lee Child's way of writing is something to get used to. Lots of small clipped sentences. But at points, these were really good.
