Interpretation In Favor Of Books One Shot (Jack Reacher #9)

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, from the world he lives in—no phone, no address, no commitments–ex–military investigator Jack Reacher is coming. In Lee Child’s astonishing new thriller, Reacher’s arrival will change everything—about a case that isn’t what it seems, about lives tangled in baffling ways, about a killer who missed one shot–and by doing so give Jack Reacher one shot at the truth.…

The gunman worked from a parking structure just thirty yards away–point-blank range for a trained military sniper like James Barr. His victims were in the wrong place at the wrong time. But why does Barr want Reacher at his side? There are good reasons why Reacher is the last person Barr would want to see. But when Reacher hears Barr’s own words, he understands. And a slam-dunk case explodes. Soon Reacher is teamed with a young defense lawyer who is working against her D.A. father and dueling with a prosecution team that has an explosive secret of its own. Like most things Reacher has known in life, this case is a complex battlefield. But, as always, in battle, Reacher is at his best.

Moving in the shadows, picking his spots, Reacher gets closer and closer to the unseen enemy who is pulling the strings. And for Reacher, the only way to take him down is to know his ruthlessness and respect his cunning–and then match him shot for shot…

Discuss Epithetical Books One Shot (Jack Reacher #9)

I'm going to add the same review for all of the Reacher series, so if you've read this one, you've read 'em all. If you feel a certain affinity for the lone hero, a man of principle, of unwavering knowledge and assent as to his own actions, than Jack Reacher's your kinda guy. Lee Child has created an unforgettable and unique character in his creation of Jack Reacher. Jack seems to implicitly understand that he is a unique animal/human running around on this planet and that in spite of social

I know many people have already said it but here goes Tom Cruise was not right for this role! The 5'6 slim built Tom Cruise playing 6 foot plus 200 pound Jack Reacher. AAAARRGGHH ok rant over!!One Shot is the 9th novel in the Lee Child series. It's in the middle of a normal day in an ordinary American town. A sniper goes to the top of a car park and starts shooting at people. Six shots, five people are killed. The police believe they have their man, it seems like an air tight case only the guy

When the Jack Reacher movie trailer first came out, and I found out it was based on a book, I was intrigued enough to pick it up. Unfortunately, my logical brain assumed they would adapt the first book in the series, Killing Floor, and so I read the wrong book, as they took the screenplay from this book, the ninth in the series. Anyway, while I liked that book well enough (review here), this book showed how much the author has improved since writing it, his first published book. The plot was

It all began with six shots in Indiana, leaving five people dead and the locals in shock. The case seems open and shut; a suspect emerging in a few hours with evidence to match. A former military sniper is arrested and charged, with the death penalty a strong possibility. When the accused asks for Jack Reacher, locals scramble to determine what the request means and who it might be. A prison beating leaves the accused unable to remember anything and Reacher shows up, prepared to tap into his

One shot (Jack Reacher #9), Lee ChildOne Shot is the ninth book in the Jack Reacher series written by Lee Child. The book title is based on "One shot, one kill," the military sniper's creed. The novel was adapted into the 2012 film Jack Reacher, starring Tom Cruise as the title character. This book is written in the third person.In a small Indiana city, a lone gunman in a parking garage calmly fires into a rush-hour crowd in a public plaza, committing a massacre of five apparently random victims

Nobody should pick up a Jack Reacher novel and expect great literature. I might be wrong but I suspect that that isnt Lee Childs purpose. What you get instead is a good dollop of wish-fulfilment, good writing, beautiful, intelligent and feisty females who are either integral to the development of the plot or just along for the ride, and implausible story lines! One shot is no exception why change a winning formula? In Reacher, Child has created a character who is, perhaps, not quite the guy who

This is the first Jack Reacher book I've read, and I picked it up because of the upcoming movie. I have to say my only problem with it is that now I'm going to have to read all of Lee Child's books, and I already have a queue of over 140 "to read".It's a really great thriller. It's hard to talk about it without revealing too much, hence the spoilers warning. My favorite bit is that Jack is not some flawless superman. He's trailed throughout the book and only once picks it up. That was something
