This book, like all in the series, would benefit from tight editing and should have been half the length. Having said that, the author is a proven master in the art of plotting. And, I'll probably read the next installment in the series because I'm invested in Cormoran & Robyn, an investment that began in the opening scenes of the first book. It's complicated!

Whew! At one point my heart rate was up to 101 bpm. I love this series, the character development is enough to keep me coming back for each new episode but not so much that I'm bothered by waiting for the next release. I did accurately predict a couple details but not all of them which makes it a perfect mystery in my opinion. 
So many trigger warnings, I'm sure there'  some I missed. The inner workings of the cult might be a lot. Proceed with caution if you need.
