About this ebook

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher

“Pure, escapist gold . . . Mr. Child’s tough talk and thoughtful plotting make an ingenious combination.”—The New York Times


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.

I read this because I really liked the film adaptation. It didn't disappoint! There is plenty of mystery, murder, violence and of course the twist! The book is much more focused on character development (surprise surprise) and is a lot slower paced, however, it doesn't lack any of the thrills!

I really enjoy all of the Jack Reacher books, but haven't been able to give 5☆'s as of yet. The reason being is for the mistakes. In this one it says that Reacher "doesn't know much about house's and has Never owned one." That's not true. General Garber left him his home in his will and Reacher lived in it for a while, but sold it. Other than the few mistakes, this is a great read! Still just Cannot understand why they picked Tom Cruise for this role! Cruise would look like a Hobbit next to Reacher!

Hey you CHEEKY BASTARD, you recommended a book titled "Relic" but when I searched for that name it came up with more than 20 with RELIC in the title! Is it the one by 'Preston & Child'? I haven't read the book Jack Reacher - One Shot but I saw the movie (3 times), I loved it. However, with everyone saying that the book is better than the movie, I hesitate because I don't want to ruin the movie for me! So even though I have not read it YET, based on the movie and people saying the book is better, I gave it five stars. I did not know that the author has a whole string of novels about Jack Reacher, so I will have to start reading them.
