The second in the Cormoran Strike series is a scathing view of the cut-throat publishing industry. It’s another clever, intricate, convoluted plot that is clear in retrospect. Galbraith / Rowling has put together a fascinating mystery of rejection and vengeance, showing herself to be a master of plot and character development. I find the ever-evolving relationship between Strike and Robin to be the most compelling part of the series. Excellent storytelling.
