“Killing floor” Lee Child (1997) Review | Jack Reacher series

★★★★☆ Jack Reacher series. Explosion of adrenalin. Murder, violence, good women, all the cool elements but not much story, but maybe that's not what's expected in the "hard boiled" - it's an action movie in a book.

🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
The first book of Jack Reacher.
It was recommended by someone ages ago, and didn’t realise it was that Reacher.
I think it’s better in movies/TV, it’s got actions, excitement and adrenaline.

Killing and violence and good looking women. But not much story, not much tangling up of people’s melodrama, that I always seek and love.
The only interesting character was Finlay, the chief detective who actually had a story to tell.

Good ol’ hard boiled action thriller, that rightly Tom Cruise played.
It’s not that it’s not good, it’s just not my type, but maybe it gets better as it develops.
