The last chapter solidified the 5 stars for me. I’m a huge fan of people speaking up and saying how they feel. In the words of Mark Sloan “if you love someone you tell them, even if you’re scared that it’s not the right thing, even if you’re scared that it’ll cause problems, even if your scared that it’ll burn your life to the ground, you say it loud and then you go from there…”.
Strike and Robin’s biggest problem has been their miscommunication so I’m really happy the final chapter finally happened. Can’t wait for the next book, whenever that comes out.
It was nice to have Prudence and Strike have a relationship. Wish there was more Vanessa, Robin needs more friends that aren’t Ilsa. Nick was missing-in-action.

Couldn’t put this down honestly I was riveted! Complex story, well written and beautifully twisty plot.
I have enjoyed this series by Robert Galbraith, a pseudonym for JK Rowling (author of Harry Potter series). She is a fantastic writer with great character development. These books are definitely adult fare, and some of the crimes are a bit gruesome, but the background story of the main characters is what keeps me coming back. While each book can be read as a stand-alone, I recommend reading them in order starting with " the Cuckoo's calling"
