Ink Black Heart | Robert Galbraith

The latest installment in the highly acclaimed, internationally bestselling Strike series finds Cormoran and Robin ensnared in another winding, wicked case. PRAISE FOR THE STRIKE SERIES: "Magnificent" -- Sunday Times "[Galbraith's] greatest novelistic gifts are her ability to spin wild, intricate plots (witness the astrological elements of this latest book), and to create colorful, highly individual characters who come instantly alive on the page." -- Bill Sheehan, Washington Post "Finely honed, superbly constructed" -- Daily Mail "A scrupulous plotter and master of misdirection, Galbraith keeps the pages turning." -- Guardian "The work of a master storyteller" -- Daily Telegraph "This is a crime series deeply rooted in the real world, where brutality and ugliness are leavened by the oh-so-human flaws and virtues of Galbraith's irresistible hero and heroine." -- USA Today "Addictive, murderous fun." -- Vox "Compulsively readable." -- People

Of all the couples sitting in the Rivoli Bar at the Ritz that Thursday evening, the pair that was having the most conspicuously good time was not, in fact, a couple.

I did it! Finally finished! Okay- so that was intense. Not so much the story line - pretty basic murder mystery but thrown into the mix is the virtual world of online gaming and catfishing, incels and terrorists. Some of the chapters are tumblr/twitter feeds and chat rooms which (based on formatting) took me a few rereads to get through. Grab a pen and pad to take notes on all the characters, cause there are a lot. 4.5⭐️

Good book if you like a good mystery book. I thought it was a little slow in the middle for a couple hundred pages. But then it pick up with wild speed and I couldn‘t put it down.

A guilty pleasure, but I do enjoy this series. All on audio. The reading aloud of tweets and IMs didn‘t bother me.

Well, I didn‘t think 21 days would be enough, but I guess I didn‘t even need 2 weeks🤷🏻‍♀️. Another good book in the series. I‘m thinking this is the last one…?

I've been waiting for the release of this one. You do need to create a little matrix in your mind to keep the characters straight and the ending seemed a bit rushed considering the 1000 page build up, but it still kept me wanting more.

Now, explain to me how the library thinks I‘m going to finish over 1,000 pages in 21 days?!

Two minds on this overly long latest in the Cormoran Strike & Robin Ellacott series. They pass on helping a cartoonist beset with social media trolling only for the cartoonist to turn up dead. Much research evident and reflects author‘s own experience on social networks. Most of the clues lie in pages of chat room talk which frustratingly on Kindle is in tiny font size, and difficult to see much less read. Skipped masses of stuff but followed fine

Tonton So could have used a good edit. (Different issue: A little uncomfortable as I don‘t condone trolling in any way but disagree with Rowling‘s opinions on gender and trans issues.) In any event, offline IRL storyline equally frustrating as Cormoran is stuck on stultifying repeat of his feelings for Robin and vice versa. Feels like a holding action all round. Just fall into bed, you two! (edited) 2y

So good, hard to put down. I love the main characters, their story arc, & how the author gets inside her characters‘ heads! Knowing her awful experience with trolls I get why she focuses on these themes, & it‘s done brilliantly, just sometimes couldn‘t get the person of the author out of my mind which distracted from the fiction a bit. The research she must have done into gaming is phenomenal & it takes strength to recreate some of those tweets.

And my final #bookmail of the week(I think🤔)is the new Cormorant Strike novel, also from Waterstones. It‘s hard to find decent hardcovers here in Aus, not sure why. And they cost a fortune if you do find them usually. My daughter @Ciara_Rosey got me onto this series & then harasses me to read them as soon as they‘re released so she has someone to talk to about it!

Cathythoughts What a great cover ! Love the characters, but the books are soooo long 😬 2y
