Obviously I understand these books are controversial and JK sickens me when she says trans women are not women... but equally I so admired the HP books that I started reading the Strike series to try to understand some of the controversy more

Now I haven't read any reviews of this yet - other than to say this book is problematic because the victim is a female cartoonist that is persecuted online which doesn't sound a million miles away from our author...

However, JK can spin a good yarn. I was compelled to read and enjoy this story for over 1200 pages. I wasn't even urging for the finish like I was in some of the other books in series that felt so long winded I didn't care if the main protagonists lived or died by the end, I just wanted her to get it over with and this one was longer! 

I was fully invested in the story and had no idea until the end although felt slightly disappointed by our killer! I was also disappointed by the the will they-won't they ongoing story of Strike and Robin. 

Now on to read a load of more insightful reviews that I will make me dislike what I have read!

From a murder mystery perspective, Joanne lost her way and I STRONGLY suggest she gets a more cut throat editor.
Getting a bit tired of both cormoran and robins lack of ability to get out of their own way now but again, that may be because this book was 1000 pages...
