Darn school has gotten in the way of reading this one. Having read it in bits, felt like I was missing hints that I'd have caught if I'd read it in one sitting. Still an excellent read. Still happy with the characters, though I wish Robin and Matthew would just call it quits already, he's annoying.

3.5 stars. Another excellent book but a tad gory.

After reading the first book, I really liked Strike, and I tolerated Robin. By the end of this book, I just don't care. I don't care about the characters or "whodunnit".

Nothing about this book worked for me, and truly, I hate talking so negatively because I love books.

This was fun. A good detective story - lots of suspects, characters you like, good fun.

Another fabulous book in the Cormoran Strike series. There's a lot of twists and turns, and such great character development. I really hope that she continues to write this series.
