Killing Floor by Lee Child

3.0

My first Jack Reacher book, and I'm not sure what to think, frankly. It's well-paced, interesting, with a good mix of action and character. However, it's almost too intense for me, which is not something I thought I'd ever say. The fear quotient is very high, at least for me; I found myself skipping pages because it was too suspenseful, in the same way that I change the channel on TV when the plot appears to be going sideways. Like the Val McDermid books, Child seems to be Too Much for this old lady, veering off the comfortable frisson into the frankly (and realistically) terrifying. I'll try another book or two, but it's a lot of blood and guts.
