About this listen

THE FIRST NOVEL IN LEE CHILD'S #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING JACK REACHER SERIES—NOW AN ORIGINAL SERIES ON PRIME VIDEO!

“From its jolting opening scene to its fiery final confrontation, Killing Floor is irresistible.”—People

Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is a drifter. He’s just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he’s arrested for murder. Not much of a welcome. All Reacher knows is that he didn’t kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn’t stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.

Action packed unpredictable

After listening to this book I watched the TV series. Spot on. This novel delivers the action and keeps you listening. The voice of narrator didn't quite match but not a show stopper.

I think I have found a new series to get into. I started off by loving the movies, then read the 3 novellas and then watched the prime series. tge prime series is pretty accurate to the book. read the 3 novellas first then this it will make alot more sense.

Jack Reacher’s voice

I’m sorry I couldn’t give a higher rating for the narrator. I have read Lee Child books for years and Jack Reacher, in my mind, had a much different voice. It was very distracting to me.

Fun book

Not so much a mystery but rather an action and revenge story. Mystery aspect is ok. Jack Reacher as an action star is super fun.

Great narration. Compelling story!

Sped it up to 1.2-better speed. Reader pace was too slow at the default speed. Overall, a good intro to Jack Reacher. I found the Audible was actually better than reading the book, which is not usually the case for me.

Good story, didn't like the narration.

I liked the story. I didn't like the narrator's voice. and Cadence. too many pauses, made all Southern people sound stupid with how they couldn't get through a sentence without a few longer than needed pauses.
