So, I've condensed two book reviews into one - because I read them back to back in about 35 hours so to me they are one book. 
 Lets just get this out of the way first up - I LOVE CORMORAN STRIKE. 
 There is something about the way that Rowling writes people that I just love. She is so good at showing us what they are feeling without telling. There's so much depth to Cormoran and Robin and even all the secondary and third characters in these books - even the culprits are well thought out and layered. I know that Rowling sometimes goes a little over board with descriptions of physical places and physical people descriptions but I just think she does so well with displaying people's feelings in a subtle way. 
 I love Cormoran and Robin's relationship. I can see its heading in a romantic direction and I WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. I am shipping them so badly. I've never been so attracted to a character that is constantly described as fat and ugly with pubes for hair. 
 The crimes are always interesting and hard to guess - I actually spoiled Career of Evil for myself by reading about the plot and I actually still didn't guess it in the book. I love that Rowling changed up the formula for Career of Evil and also gave us some more insight into Cormoran and Robin's pasts. 
 Basically, I am loving this series so much. Crime layered with interesting characters and a touching and slowly developing romance/friendship between partners. Can't get enough!
