3.5 stars. This one had too much personal drama with Robin and Strike for me which really distracted from the crime. I liked that we got more of Robin's back story, and she became such a real character to me. Her emotions were very well drawn. I found myself getting annoyed with Strike a bit tho, especially in his treatment of Robin. 
 The crime was good, and I liked how he figured out the murderer. It was also interesting being inside the killer's head. Looking forward to the next installment.
