Product Details


Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

While reader Hill has proven himself to be an all-purpose narrator with a 200-plus audiography, his specialty is interpreting suspense and crime fiction like this bullet-paced thriller. Written lean enough to make Hemingway seem chatty, the ninth novel to feature the resourceful ex-military cop Jack Reacher begins with a bare-bones description of an unemotional sniper prepping for and carrying out a mass slaying in the business area of an unnamed Indiana city. The killer's dispassion is chilling, and Hill, who has narrated the author's previous titles, matches the mood with an objectivity that raises the goose-bump level even higher. When Reacher, one of fiction's more reticent heroes, arrives on the scene, Hill provides him with a brusque, confident, properly manly voice, but adds a note of wariness that subtly suggests the adventurer's cynical nature. This tops a gallery of smart audio portraits, each with his own identifiable accent. Child has purposely designed the novel to move forward unfettered by stylish flourishes, and Hill follows that plan, concentrating mainly on increasing the pace as the story speedballs to its satisfying conclusion.

From AudioFile

Six hours after a sniper killed five passersby coming out of an office building in the Indiana heartland, the police had James Barr in custody. It was a slam dunk, an open-and-shut case. But Jack Reacher doesn't think so. It was too neat. Reacher has reasons for wanting to see Barr in prison or worse, so why does Barr ask for Reacher's help? Before Reacher can get any answers, Barr is beaten and left in a coma. Dick Hill's reading is tight and crisp, giving characters fully fleshed personalities and believable accents. As the case evolves into a full-fledged conspiracy, Hill puts tension into his reading to make this audiobook the ultimate disc-turner. S.E.S.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Reacher yet!, Aug 10 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: One Shot (Hardcover)
Lee Child has outdone himself with One Shot! Outstanding novel - possibly one of his best yet in the Jack Reacher series. This novel has it all - suspense, kick-ass crime, really BAD guys, great humour, and Reacher is smart, sexy, tough as nails (did I mention sexy), and highly intelligent. Plus this book is packed with the best hand-to-hand combat scenes done thus far in any Reacher book.

"The Hard Way" is the next one forthcoming - bring it on!

5.0 out of 5 stars Reacher is back and better than ever!, Jun 24 2005
This review is from: One Shot (Hardcover)
This is Jack Reacher at his best! Six Shots and five people dead in an American midwest city. The police catch the sniper, the only problem is the guy claims he did not do it. In come Reacher and in his indominatable way he turns the case inside out and upside down. The Jack Reacher character is brilliant, multi-layered, but most of all, he kicks ass when he needs to and always gets the girl. One Shot was extremely well written, suspenseful and twisted and turned like all his others, but I think the characterizations of Reacher in this one is probably not as deep as in the previous book, but for a plot driven thriller, it's five stars all the way. Nothing is as it seems in this gritty thriller. This and "A Tourist in the Yucatan" are my favorite thriller reads of 2005!

5.0 out of 5 stars He's really back, Jul 28 2005
By Susie Sharon (Orleans, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: One Shot (Hardcover)
The Jack Reacher novels had me hooked from the first line of the first book. The 7th book, The Persuader, was a bit disapointing. But the series redeemed itself with the 8th book (The Enemy) and now, this one, One Shot.

Jack is at his best. He's a loner with a borderline case of "not my problem" attitude. But when he gets pulled in, he puts himself all in and goes all out. He's a sort of hero, not by choice but by carreer. He's left the army, he's no longer enforcing the law but it's in his blood. So when he sees injustice, he gets involved.

In this book, Reacher gets involved when he sees a news clip and recognizes a man he once made a promise to : Step out of line again and I will find you. So when Reacher hears the man has killed, he goes to find him. But not all is as it first seemed and Reacher is left to adjust and rethink the situation.

Once again, a good book from L. Child. Can't wait for the next installment.
