Killing Floor by Lee Child
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
There’s a rule in writing having to do with coincidences. If you get too many of them, the audience will stop believing what you’re writing. This is the case with Killing Floor, the book which launched the incredibly long running, and profitable, Jack Reacher series. Here, we’re asked to believe an ever expanding set of randomly occurring incidents, which just happen to lead our hero to all the answers AND give him a motive for sticking around in the first place.
