While I found most of the book to be overbearing (by no fault of Cormoran or Robin), there's no denying that JK Rowling can write a good mystery. Fair warning: This book is super gory and occasionally soul-sucking. She portrays the people in the publishing industry as being, like, the worst people ever and I hated spending time with them. Thankfully, I feel strongly enough about the two leads that I will put up with any manner of terrible people in exchange for getting more Strike & Robin: Super Detectives! stories. Mostly, I think I'm just miffed that I don't get a whole book about Robin being awesome. Also, homegirl needs to ditch the fiancee STAT. Next book, perhaps?
