I really liked this book. 
 It started off very slow, and there were some parts that weren't that interesting and way too descriptive for my taste, but over all I liked this book a lot. The thing about it is that it's a slow read, but there are some parts that sucks you in and doesn't let you go. This book is mostly about the characters as well. I mean the plot is there, but it's more like the characters drive the story and the plot move the story along. As I read this book I cared so much about Robin and Strike, and I was loving them both as a team and as a separate individuals. They made the book for me, and even though it wasn't action packed with shoot outs and car chases and bodies every chapter it was still a very good crime novel that wasn't like other crime novels I've read and I appreciated that. I donno I went in without an expectation and that helped me like this book not because J.K wrote it but because it was a good novel. Read it, you might like it.
