About this audiobook

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.


**NOW A MAJOR PRIME TV SERIES STARRING ALAN RITCHSON**

Jack Reacher jumps off a bus and walks fourteen miles down a country road into Margrave, Georgia. An arbitrary decision he's about to regret. Reacher is the only stranger in town on the day they have had their first homicide in thirty years.

The cops arrest Reacher and the police chief turns eyewitness to place him at the scene. As nasty secrets leak out, and the body count mounts, one thing is for sure. They picked the wrong guy to take the fall.

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, Killing Floor is the first audiobook in the internationally popular series. It presents Reacher for the first time, as the tough ex-military cop of no fixed abode: a righter of wrongs, the perfect action hero.

"This was the first Jack Reacher novel and with its lean, spare prose it has one of the most intriguing heroes of our times and displays a gift for explosive drama." (Daily Express)

‘Jeff Harding’s [...] narration captures Reacher’s character perfectly [...] you have to savour every minute.’
The Sunday Times

I mean it wasn't bad, it wasn't great, it was just okay. The word "said" is used for every sentence of speech, or it's "asked". Some sentences were repetitive. Story was okay. Characters are okay. There was nothing really striking, no memorable moments nor characters. It was an okay book. I don't feel discouraged to check out the rest of the series, I will go onto book 2 regardless.

I didn't last 10 minutes! im not sure how the actual story was to be honest. The readers voice was comical! i just could not take it seriously and after 5 minutes i couldn't listen anymore. I might skip the audio book and try the ebook..

I can't get past the rubbish narrator. doesn't do the book justice. they should have hired a different voice actor. this guy is aweful. I've refunded the book based in that. I'll try again elsewhere with a different narrator
