"Just finished "One Shot" by Lee Child and it was a total blast! This book starts with a crazy sniper attack in a small town and everyone thinks the case is closed. But then Reacher shows up because the guy who's accused asks for him by name. Things get wild from there!
Reacher digs deep and uncovers a whole mess of secrets. It's like watching a master at work. You meet some cool characters along the way, like Helen, a badass lawyer, and Barr, the accused guy who swears he's innocent. And let's not forget Charlie, a main bad guy who's as smart as Reacher.
The book is full of action and twists that keep you guessing. Lee Child keeps the story moving at a breakneck pace. And the ending? Mind-blowing.
I gave "One Shot" 4 stars because it's classic Reacher: tough, exciting, and impossible to put down. If you love thrillers or stories with a hero who can kick butt, you gotta read this!
