One Shot: A Reacher Novel (Jack Reacher) Review

This review is for the audio edition of "One Shot."

These audio experiences are a blend of reader plus author, and this book delivers on both counts. The plot is complex, well-executed, and only slightly implausible during the end-game when so many of these thrillers cease to deliver on high expectations. This is my first Reacher yarn, and what a compelling bad-ass he is, heading after the bad guys with the shirt on his back, the shoes on his feet, and killer hands. Period.

The only downside is the voice the reader creates for the foxy lady lawyer--sounds like she's struggling with a bad set of false teeth so the listener cringes a bit as he/she lisps out her lines.

One Shot: A Reacher Novel (Jack Reacher) Overview

Six shots. Five dead. One heartland city thrown into a state of terror. But within hours the cops have it solved: a slam-dunk case. Except for one thing. The accused man says: You got the wrong guy. Then he says: Get Reacher for me.

And sure enough, ex–military investigator Jack Reacher is coming. He knows this shooter—a trained military sniper who never should have missed a shot. Reacher is certain something is not right—and soon the slam-dunk case explodes.

Now Reacher is teamed with a beautiful young defense lawyer, moving closer to the unseen enemy who is pulling the strings. Reacher knows that no two opponents are created equal. This one has come to the heartland from his own kind of hell. And Reacher knows that the only way to take him down is to match his ruthlessness and cunning—and then beat him shot for shot.

One Shot - Lonnie W. Morris Jr. -
As usual a great book in the Reacher series.Highly reccommend it.The character is very interesting,and quite vicious.

One of the best Reacher novels - Eric DiPier - Virginia
I really enjoyed this one, I'd say it's one of the best Reacher novels. Great characters, excellent story, good pacing, a little "twist" and a pretty solid ending.

Another great Reacher book - Kenneth Sandberg - Shingletown, CA
I am reading the whole series (not in correct order), and this book is one of his best. Child sets up his usual beginning mystery (sniper killings) and then makes it more complicated. As usual, what seems obvious is not, and Reacher must figure out why the supposed killer (who Reacher who has no love for) would ask for his help. The book flows quickly, and it can be read in a day (if you read fairly fast) without problem.

bulls eye - K. Hartley -
this is Reacher at his best. If you want fast paced intrigue this is a bulls eye.
