So much happens in these books, it can be hard to keep track of it all. I don't remember any of the previous books having such a long section explaining the truth behind the mystery/crime - had to really focus through that to understand it. Great development of Cormoran and Robin's relationship and their business partnership. Looking forward to the continuation of the series.

I have never been so disappointed…to have reached the end of the available books in a series. I love a mystery, and in true Galbraith fashion, this one is chock-full of evil possibilities that have you desperately trying to piece together the twisted puzzle right until the resolution. If you, like me, finish this book before book 8 is available, you have my condolences. This was the best in the series so far, and I will be pondering over all the characters and happenings until the next book is released.
