Thumbing across the scorched West Texas desert, loner Jack Reacher has nowhere to go and all the time in the world to get there. Cruising the same stretch of two-lane blacktop is pretty Carmen Greer. But for Reacher, the lift comes with a hitch. Carmen's got a story to tell, and it's a wild one. All about her husband, her family secrets, and a hometown that's pure Gothic. She's also got a plan. Jack Reacher's part of it. And before the sun sets, this ride could cost them both their lives.

But there’s nothing pleasant about the place. In broad daylight Reacher spots a hapless soul walking into an ambush. “It was four against one”...so Reacher intervenes, with his own trademark brand of conflict resolution. The man he saves is Rusty Rutherford, an unassuming IT manager, recently fired after a cyberattack locked up the town’s data, records, information...and secrets.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,553
Everything starts somewhere. For elite military cop Jack Reacher, that somewhere was Carter Crossing, Mississippi, way back in 1997. A young woman is dead, and solid evidence points to a soldier at a nearby military base. But that soldier has powerful friends in Washington. Reacher is ordered undercover - to find out everything he can, to control the local police, and then to vanish. Reacher is a good soldier. But when he gets to Carter Crossing, he finds layers no one saw coming, and the investigation spins out of control. Local sheriff Elizabeth Deveraux has a thirst for justice - and an appetite for secrets.

Jack Reacher was alone, the way he liked it, soaking up the hot, electric New York City night, watching a man cross the street to a parked Mercedes and drive it away. The car contained one million dollars in ransom money. And Edward Lane, the man who paid it, will pay even more to get his family back. Lane runs a highly illegal soldiers-for-hire operation. He will use any amount of money and any tool to find his beautiful wife and child. And then he’ll turn Jack Reacher loose with a vengeance - because Reacher is the best man hunter in the world.

It's 1996, and Reacher is still in the army. In the morning they give him a medal, and in the afternoon they send him back to school. That night he's off the grid. Out of sight, out of mind. Two other men are in the classroom - an FBI agent and a CIA analyst. Each is a first-rate operator, each is fresh off a big win, and each is wondering what the hell they are doing there. Then they find out: A jihadist sleeper cell in Hamburg, Germany, has received an unexpected visitor - a Saudi courier seeking safe haven while waiting to rendezvous with persons unknown.

From the Stone Age to the Greek Tragedies, from Shakespeare to Robin Hood, we have always had our heroes. The hero is at the centre of formative myths in every culture and persists to this day in world-conquering books, films and TV shows. But why do these characters continue to inspire us, and why are they so central to storytelling? Scalpel-sharp on the roots of storytelling and enlightening on the history and science of myth, The Hero is essential listening for anyone trying to write or understand fiction.

By: Michael Connelly
Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin, Killing Floor is the first instalment in Lee Child’s internationally popular Jack Reacher series, read by Jeff Harding.
Although the Jack Reacher audiobooks can be listened to in any order, Killing Floor presents Reacher for the first time, as the tough ex-military cop of no fixed abode: a righter of wrongs, the perfect action hero.
Jack Reacher jumps off a bus and walks 14 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 30 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.

Disappointing after hearing so much about Reacher.
What disappointed you about Killing Floor?
Every conversation was written with "I said" "he said" "she said", all the way through the book. I was expecting more sophisticated language.
Has Killing Floor turned you off from other books in this genre?
Not the genre, just Lee Child.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment due to the lack of imagination about the language.

Good story, horrible narration
I only finished this book because I was curious how it ends. In the most of it the narration sounds like shopping list or user manual being read out loud. Gets little better in the second half but still not very pleasant experience.

Disappointing experience
The whole book would be one third in length if ‘I said, he said’ and repeating phrases were excluded. The narration did not help as well, the worst combination possible. It was like reading out loud a TO DO list.

macho classic. makes the movie look like a spoof.
l love Jack Reacher. 6ft 4 with a look that gets him into trouble without even trying. He is a credible and likeable hardman. Basic to the bone. Sympathetic but scary. Reacher is always the hero without any fanfare. How anyone decided to replace a bulky 6ft 4 , ex army hardman with 5ft 2 (in lifts) Mr Cruise with perfect teeth and coiffered hair is beyond me. I love the books. When I heard who was cast for the movie I literally felt sad for the character. Damn you Hollywood. Why can't you just tell it like it's written???

Faithful narration to the very last "he said"!
When reading this book I never noticed how many times "he said" "she said" "he said" is written down. Having fetched my twenty year old copy of the book I can confirm they are all there in black and white. On the page I must have stopped seeing them, how I wished I could stop hearing them in the audio version. Maybe we need a new category - 'Unabridged except for removal of superfluous and flow interrupting he said/she saids'? Otherwise, it was a good story to revisit and I enjoyed the narration. I shall continue with the series.

My First Encounter With Reacher
This is what it is. Lee Child isn't trying to be Cormac McCarthy. The story is fast-paced and the characters don't get on your nerves. There are 4 or 5 excellent and exciting set-pieces and the bad guys are really bad.
Some people claim that the first chapter is one of the best first chapters of any novel of the late 20th century. I don't know about that but it is certainly pretty good

Meh..
Narrator lacks variety in tone. Writing lacks flow... Constantly adding "he said" to dialogue... Ruins an otherwise fine story

Brilliant
Thought I’d try something new. So decided to go back 20 years with the first Jack Reacher story and I was not disappointed! Gripping from the get go - good reading performance (I’m quite fussy about the voices on Audible) and great continuous story I was never bored. So happy now as I have loads more to listen to

Great book
A great book however I'm must say as much as I love Lee childs passion for Jack reacher I feel that if it isn't narrates by Jeff harding then I simply cannot listen to it. The two go hand in hand. Jack reacher is simply fantastic

Complete rubbish
I’ve since returned this piece of drivel. Written like a trashy private eye thriller and narrated by a guy so nasal you’d think he was strung up by his nostrils. I’m afraid my time on earth is precious and I won’t be wasting any more on this type of tripe If you value your time- walk on by!

Too many "saids"
Being a Lee child can and having enjoyed his books both kindle and hardback, I was very disappointed with the narration of Killing floor. There were far too many she said, he said and I said interruptions to the narration which I feel could have been avoided with better editing. I shall continue trying Lee child books on Audible but will vet them with trial listening before purchasing

Very good book. hard to turn off and easy to listen to. Recommend this book to all those who like a good crime murder and a bit of mystery.

Dreadful Narration
Tried really hard to like this book . I lasted 6 chapters . Badly written and even worse narration. Obviously I'm in the minority. I've listened to many books but this is just about the very worst. I will be asking for a refund

Failed to deliver
I was excited that I may have a new author to dive into. Unfortunately this book failed to deliver. The story line had potential but the quality of writing lets it down. It lacks polish, reads like an amateur author. The narrator becomes annoying not long into book. I struggled to continue. Not a book I would listen to again and would try the author again.

Absolutely horrendous
Yes, 'horrendous'. Just the biggest bunch of absolute bollocks I have ever attempted to listen to. As others have pointed out the "he said, She said" gets very tired by the second chapter, but the storyline is where this atrocity really shines. I am pulling the pin on this at the 4 hour mark and absolutely nothing has happened except 'Jack' has headbutted the biggest inmate he could find. Classic. I truly wish I could have those 4 hours of my life back but at the very least it has given me insight into the Lee Child world, one I shall never return to.

The voice ruins the book
Sorry, but I just can't listen to the book. The voice is so flat with no emotion or feeling whatsoever..... I can't get into the story at all.... shame. really wanted to listen to these books.

Terrible narration
Could not persevere into the book as the narrator was unbearable to listen to. I felt the sort my have been good and may keep trying just to hear the end. Definitely won’t buy more with this narrator though

Dreadful narration, couldn't get past 5 chapters
Slow, boring narration made the book very hard to listen to. The he said, she said is just terrible. Only lasted 5 chapters

Great story spoilt by poor narration
The story is brilliant. Lee Child is a great story teller, with unguessable plot twists, and he writes in a way that makes for compulsive reading. The narrator is dreadful. Each sentence is read out in the same way, with emphasis on the last few syllables, regardless of content or context. It's as if he has been giving a list of unconnected sentences to read out, and so he works his way down the list, in the correct order, but with no feeling or regard for the story. Its a pity, Ive read quite a few Lee Child books, and I was looking forward to working my way through the Jack Reacher novels from beginning to end on Audible, but I don't know whether I can stand the poor narration. I wish Audible had chosen a decent narrator.

great story
the "he said" and "she said" comments are monotonous and sound pre recorded and dumped in, aside from that it was first rate
