These changes primarily come in the form of flashbacks.

Reacher adds in a wealth of details that enable his backstory to be more fully fleshed out in the TV series, in some cases drawing on elements hinted at in later Jack Reacher books. In Killing Floor, Reacher discusses his relationship with his brother, but largely his past is not explored in depth. By bringing her in during Reacher season 1 as a character who is Reacher’s equal and can help him out of a bind and is happy to move around the country for him, the showrunners have set up another character who audiences can relate to and can recur through each season of Reacher, rather than Alan Ritchson being the only returning actor after Reacher season 1. The character of Neagley is from the original Jack Reacher books, but she does not appear in 1997’s Killing Floor, first appearing in the 2002 book Without Fail instead.
However, Reacher makes a big chance from Killing Floor to introduce another character for Reacher season 1 which can help the show to succeed as a long-running series.

While Reacher parts with Finlay on good terms and from Roscoe on intimate terms, having memorized her phone number at the end of Killing Floor they do not appear again in another book. Because of his wandering nature and the different locales, there are very few recurring characters in the books. The Jack Reacher books see Reacher travel around the country (and occasionally the world), getting into new hijinks in a new location in each book. This scene is faithfully adapted from the explanation of the interaction that Finlay gives Reacher in Killing Floor, but the audience gets to see the scene play out, rather than Finlay giving Reacher a blow by blow that can feel a little stilted. A clear example of this comes in Reacher episode 1 when Finlay goes to speak to Paul Hubble ( Good Witch's Marc Bendavid) for the first time and receives a false confession.

The Reacher TV series being able to show all of the different aspects of the investigation allows a better view into how Finlay and Roscoe operate by themselves, making them feel deeper and more realistic in the new medium. This necessitates that Roscoe and Finlay have less involved roles with Reacher taking on more of the adventure by himself and the reader does not get as much of an insight into their characters. This means that much of the investigation and action is seen through his eyes, and when Roscoe or Finlay go off to do something by themselves, their actions must then be reported later. While several books after Killing Floor used third-person narration, Killing Floor is told in first person from the point of view of Reacher himself. There are over two-dozen Jack Reacher novels published by Lee Child, and the point of view used for the narration in them is inconsistent. Here are the biggest differences between Reacher and the original Lee Child novel it is based on. While Reacher is not a shot-for-shot adaptation of Killing Floor, the series sticks close enough while making some appropriate changes that viewers familiar with the books and those who aren’t should both find something to enjoy in Reacher. The movies were less directly accurate to the books, and many long-time fans of the books got caught up on the fact that Tom Cruise didn’t match their vision of the hulking descriptions of Jack Reacher.

Teaming up with Roscoe (Willa Fitzgerald) and Finlay (Malcolm Goodwin) of the Margrave police department and his old colleague Neagley (Maria Sten), Reacher takes down an international counterfeiting operation that was operating out of the town. After being cleared of suspicion and learning that the murdered man was his estranged brother Joe, Reacher sets out on a vendetta against the corruption in Margrave. Reacher sees Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) enter the fictional town of Margrave, Georgia, where he is promptly arrested for a murder that he could never have committed.
