The thing about this novel is how real it feels. Some of this is because it is. If you don’t live nearby it’s worth hopping on google street view and following Margot’s last journey as Robin and Strike retrace it. But it’s not just real details like that. It’s the build up of incidental detail not relevant to the plot, the believable psychology of the characters and the flawless dialogue. There were a couple of points where it felt so real it actually destroyed my suspension of disbelief. Take the scene where our heroes interview Irene and Janice. We’ve all met Irene. That’s exactly how she talks. And it’s at times like that that we see the ranged joining and parting lines of our lives. The easy downward gradient leads to the twinge of guilt, the trial, life imprisonment. The harder track is not to murder her, not to squeeze the life from her reddening neck for just one minute of silence.
