content: This is the first book I've ever read by Lee Child. I bought it on a whim because it was advertised along with reviews of David Baldacci, Michael Connelly, Stieg Larsson, and Nelson DeMille's books. Based on the high ratings for the Jack Reacher series by Mr Child, I decided to buy "One Shot." I was not disappointed. It captivated me from start to finish. Great plot that chugs along, keeps on track towards the inevitable violent conclusion. Quick paced dialogue that's true to the characters, never too much or too little. An unexpected type of demise for one of the bad guys at the end was an interesting and welcome surprise. I will definitely be buying more of the Reacher series. My only caveat is that no motivating factor was given for the "inside man." I could be wrong, of course, having read the book at a gallop. Notwithstanding this small caveat, the book was a great read.
