I've watched the Strike TV series and although I'm usually a 'you must read the book first/book is always better!!' type person... I think the TV series is better. This was interesting, the pace worked because I kept wanting to read it even though it's huuuuge, but I prefer my mysteries a bit snappier & am probably only reading the books because I want to find out more about Robin & Strike's day-to-day relationship. I'd pick up the next in the series in a charity shop but it's not going on my TBR list!
