One Shot
By: Lee Child
4/5 stars
Reviewer: Marina
One Shot is the ninth book in Lee Child’s Jack Reacher
series, soon to be a movie starring Tom Cruise.
In the heartland of America, a sniper massacres 5 civilians in a public
shooting. The man accused of the
shooting in a quick resolution simply says “Get Jack Reacher for me.” Lucky for him, Reacher, an ex-military cop,
does indeed show up to solve the crime.
Reacher is a lone man traveling the country after leaving the military
and solving problems everywhere he goes in his own, usually violent, way. This installation of his story is no
different. One of the great things about
Reacher is he is a good guy that doesn’t hurt anyone that doesn’t deserve
it. He gets the job done so that good always
wins out over evil and he does it in his way.
This is a great book, just like all the Reacher novels that come before
and after and you can pick up any one in the series at any time without losing much
background. If you read them in order,
some secrets of his past will unravel for you, but there will always be a hefty
dose of mystery for you. If you want to
start at the beginning, pick up Killing Floor.
Otherwise select any one of his books and cheer on Reacher just like I
do.
