I liked this series when the books were under 500 pages, already quite long for detective mysteries, but this length is ridiculous. Private detective Cameron Strike is visiting his family in Cornwall when he is approached by a woman asking for help finding her mother, Margot Bamborough-who went missing in mysterious circumstances in 1974. Strike has never tackled a cold case before, let alone one forty years old. But despite the slim chance of success, he is intrigued and takes it on; adding to the long list of cases that he and his partner in the agency, Robin Ellacott, are currently working on. And Robin herself is also juggling a messy divorce and unwanted male attention, as well as battling her own feelings about Strike. 'Robert Galbraith' is a skillful storyteller, demonstrating an excellent understanding of human character, and sprinkled with natural meaningful sayings and observations. This is a tomb of a book, over 900 pages, with a multitude of characters. I kept a track of them with useful https://strikefans.com/ web site.

A scrupulous plotter and master of misdirection, Galbraith keeps the pages turning but, while much of the book is terrific fun, is hardly a hair-raising ride. The languid pace and elderliness of the mystery (and indeed most of the suspects) give the enterprise the cosy air of a Sunday night TV drama. When the denouement finally comes, it is not quite satisfying enough to justify the page count. Strike and Ellacott, however, remain one of crime's most engaging duos. I am already eager for the next instalment. I just hope my aching arms can take it. Pertence a SérieCormoran Strike (5) Está contido em
