⭐ 8.0/10 (Originally written by Kattina) In Robert Galbraith’s (JK Rowling) second novel, we continue to follow the life and career of private detective Cormoran Strike. I think it had been more than a year since I had read the first book, so I was thankful for the author reminding me of the relevant backstory while continuing to round out the characters. For this reason I don’t think you necessarily have to read the first book; I enjoyed this one much more anyway. The twists and turns of the story were very engaging, and I have developed more interest in Strike and his assistant Robin. I was not able to guess the ending, so I won’t add any potential spoilers here. It’s 455 pages but I whipped through it in between caring for an infant in less than a week. I’ll be starting the next (last?) book of the series today. Update: there are three more Strike novels, and another coming out this year. There’s also a TV series on Amazon Prime “Strike”. I’ll report back.
