I love this series and can't wait for September for the next book to come out. Once again the mystery was great, I enjoyed very much the development of the recurring secondary characters, the individual development of Strike and Robin as well as the development of their relationship. I really cannot wait to get hold of the next instalment

I always look forward to each installment of the Cormoron Strike series and the 7th edition was on par, though I’ll note, it’s not as good as most of its predecessors. As they say in London—coulda done with a bit of editing. Parts dragged, there were A LOT of characters to keep track of, and the end was a kind of out there. Not very believable to be honest. So, four stars rather than five. That being said, the end was a twist, I didn’t see it coming and the callback to a certain movie from the 90s (no blatant spoiler here) was a good one.

So let’s dive in! Strike and Robin are hired by Sir Colin Edensor to bust his brainwashed son, Will, out of the United Humanitarian Church— think Scientology but minus the aliens and plus some prophets. It’s complete with some Tom Cruise style celebrities and a load of “beliefs” designed to divest the devotees of their life savings and line the pockets of church principals Papa J and Mama Mazu.

Robin ventures undercover into the bowels of the UHC’s Chapman Farm to get close enough to Will to convince him to leave or to dig up something on the church to bring it down and disband it.

As cults go, the UHC is pretty heinous. Its entire religion is based around the prophet Daiyu, Papa J and Mama Mazu’s daughter who drowned years previously. Strike and Robin have tons of questions about Daiyu’s death… but will they be able to uncover the truth and destroy the cult?
