One Shot (Jack Reacher Series #9) Book

4.5/5

"You going to shoot me?" Reacher asked.
"Maybe."
"You should."
"Why?"
"Because if you don't, I'm going to find you and I'm going to make you sorry."


Lee Child never ceases to amaze me with the depth and cleverness of his writing. This is the ninth installment of Jack Reacher series and it still gave me a lot of thrills and chills, as same as the previous ones did. How on earth can he come up with such engaging and riveting plot? Every twist and turn literally blew me away. It's no wonder this book was turned into movie. One Shot is such a great read!

Five people were shot dead in a public plaza by the lone sniper and the shootings appeared to be entirely random. The accused man denied the charges and asked for Jack Reacher. And here's where Reacher had become involved in this case.

In this book, Reacher faced the new ruthless enemy with no mercy for anyone who dared stand in his way. But as always, this ex-military police never quits. And he would never stop until he could ultimately bring justice to those innocent victims of this vicious man.

One of the things about this book that impressed me greatly was that all the dialogue kept the story moving along at a cracking pace. The last 10% of the story was full of unstoppable excitement. Reacher took "one-man army" to a whole new level! To be honest, I think his plan was crazy and it seemed to me that it was more likely to be a suicide mission, but hell if I didn't root for him to make it to the house and take down all those bad guys. This scene had me on the edge of my seat throughout, I can tell.

Read this book, people! You'll certainly never be disappointed!


"I warned you," he whispered into the darkness below. "You should have put me down when you had the chance."
