I just finished book five in the Cormoran Strike detective series
by Robert Galbraith aka J.K. Rowling. At 945 pages, her new novel is not for
the faint of heart. Rowling/ Galbraith delivers again. I am a fan of this genre
anyway but she never disappoints. I couldn’t stop reading and hated for it to
end. Louise Penny and Anthony Horowitz also delight but Rowling/Galbraith is unequivocally
the master.
Strike is approached about taking on the 40-year-old cold case of a
missing woman. They are already covering a number of cases but intrigued, he
and his partner Robin Ellacot take it on. Each character, and there are many, is
skillfully drawn. There are deep dives into Strike and Ellacot’s personal
thoughts and feelings as well over the year it takes to solve the mystery.
Earlier books in the series are now on television and lose nothing in the
transition.
Highly recommend.
