Cormoran is a big guy. He’s ex-military, proud, intelligent and people-smart. He also has a complicated relationship with an ex that is very toxic. 

Robin is his sidekick. She’s Cormoran’s pretty secretary with a host of skills administrative skills and street smarts. In this book, we learn that she is an expert driver. She’s engaged to a guy who doesn’t seem to really understand her although he does care for her. 

They work together as a private detective duo taking on mostly surveillance cases and occasionally some biggies (on which the series focuses on). 

The storytelling is slow and the reveals are drawn out. But it’s keeping me engaged and invested in these characters lives. And I hope to watch the series too, so I’m trying to get through the books.

I've watched the Strike TV series and although I'm usually a 'you must read the book first/book is always better!!' type person... I think the TV series is better. This was interesting, the pace worked because I kept wanting to read it even though it's huuuuge, but I prefer my mysteries a bit snappier & am probably only reading the books because I want to find out more about Robin & Strike's day-to-day relationship. I'd pick up the next in the series in a charity shop but it's not going on my TBR list!
