I was so eager to read this new installment, but spent the majority of the booking forcing myself to trudge through. The last 15% of this book was great.  The rest of it, though. The case was extremely complex. It was very difficult to keep track of who was who. This was exaggerated by the Twitter conversations and in game conversations under different names.  Robin and Strike's relationship was extremely annoying despite the fact that I have previously loved them.  I found  myself wondering  what point JK Rowling was trying to make about the underlying messages in the cartoon and not coming up with an answer.
