A page turner, but perhaps a couple of hundred pages too long. Guessing all the way to the end, I'm not sure I could ever work out whodunnit until the reveal.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed listening to this this series, JK Rowling is obviously a wonderful writer and the reader for the audiobook is very good. However, this was my least favorite in the Strike series. In my opinion, it was super long, convoluted, and anti-climatic.

Whilst the Strikes novels are getting increasingly longer, this book made me NEEDING to read the next one, I have found the relationship with Strike and Robin very tedious as it's so dragged out and I feel like JK Rowling/Robert Galbraith know exactly what the readers want and just trying to drag it out for as long as possible. Still absolutely loved this book but never wanted a fictional couple to get together so badly.
