Another quick read: "Killing Floor", by Lee Child; the first book in the "Jack Reacher" series. My first encounter with this author, and an enjoyable read. I generally consider it a bad idea when British authors write books set in the US, or vice versa, but this British author seems to have written a book which (to my British eyes, at least) feels authentically American (not that I'm in any position to judge, of course). I'd be interested to know if Americans think he does a good job?
The only "British-ism" I did notice is that, several times in the story, reference is made to a "mobile phone" (British), rather than a "cell phone" (American).
