The case in itself was very interesting, and I was pretty excited about the murderer’s reveal. I can also see how the author drew much from her personal experience with Twitter. However, in this review I won’t get into the JKK Rowling-transphobic debacle, as I don’t think this is the place for it.
Finally, was the editor drinking at work?! It has been a long time since I read a novel edited this badly! I mean, from such a celebrated author and for such a best-selling series, you’d expect the best editor on the market to be on the job. Instead, there were so many inconsistencies,
In short, if this novel, with a similar plot, had been shorter and better edited, it would have gotten from me 5 stars.

Yall. Go into this understanding that a lot of it has to do with the toxicity of the people online, trolls and bullies. So so many content warningsritamaral's review

This is a decent book. Not my favorite in the series. There was relationship development between Ellacott and Strike. The plot was hard to follow at times, and I felt it was predictable.
