Review :
The story and the writing is fantastic. The author has beautifully built up tension wherever it is needed. Twists are many in number but sometimes appear predictable.
It has a realistic end to it and gives you good reason to grab the next book in the series of Jack Reacher as well.
The story seems to be a bit slow at some places but it does not dull the shine of the book.
Overall, ‘Killing Floor’ By ‘Lee Child’ is a good read if you have some time on your hands.
