This is the third book in the Jack Reacher novels that I have read. The second one, the one that I read but didn't review was Killing Floor. That was the first novel Lee Child wrote with Jack Reacher.
One Shot starts with a sniper killing five people in an Indiana town. The evidence is rock solid against an ex-military sniper who only tells his lawyer to "find Jack Reacher." Reacher, as some of you may know, is ex-Military Police, a loner, wanderer. He sees the news of the killings on TV and heads to Indiana from Miami. Apparently, the sniper, James Barr, and Reacher's paths crossed in Kuwait City while both were in the service. Reacher comes to town to bury him. But the evidence against Barr troubles Reacher (even though it is an open and shut case) and he needs to know more. It is the digging for more that lands him in trouble with the police and some nasty, unknown characters. But Reacher can more than handle himself, and everyone misjudges him. That makes for a really entertaining read. Another excellent novel from Lee Child.
This is a must read. Lee Child crafts an excellent mystery and Reacher is a great character. I read the last chapter a couple of times, the action and dialog was that good. I will have to reserve a couple more from the library, which will give me time to read a couple of books that arrived in the mail a week ago from Tom (thanks, Tom).
