Overview of “Killing Floor”

A very brief description of “Killing Floor” Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is a drifter. He’s just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he’s arrested for murder. All Reacher knows is that he didn’t kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn’t stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.What Child sets out to do / Purpose of the bookTo tell an old-fashioned cowboy story updated to a modern worldThe intended audience of the book / Who will benefit mostAnyone who likes action, crime, mystery and great writingWho probably WON’T like this book?People who don’t like graphic violencePeople who don’t like bad things happening to good peoplePeople who need lots of talking about feelings and warm happy fuzzinessHonestly?
