I love the Cormoran Strike series. Rowling (aka, Galbraith) is an accomplished storyteller who can handle multiple characters and a complex storyline. Here she shows a facility with online gaming that, to me as a non-gamer, is mind-boggling. While I really respect her talent, I found the story so complex that I need to go back and reread this to see what I missed. Definitely recommend the entire series starting with The Cuckoo’s Calling.

I love this series but I also donate to the Trevor Project every time I read one of her books, as JK Rowling is transphobic. Lots of triggers and an interesting subject considering the author’s own experience with twitter.
