Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith

4.0

As far as detective, murder mysteries go I really enjoyed the book. J.K. Rowling is obviously great at describing settings (see all the Harry Potter books), but I think she goes overboard sometimes in describing non-magical scenarios. This story had an entire scene where she described, with dialogue an episode of Say Yes to the Dress playing in the background. Made me want to skim through some scenes. There were also a few passing comments about the possibility of a man dressing in women’s cloths in order lure women, which knowing it didn’t advance the story and came from this particular author with her strong negative views on trans women made it a little awkward.
