I have never been so disappointed…to have reached the end of the available books in a series. I love a mystery, and in true Galbraith fashion, this one is chock-full of evil possibilities that have you desperately trying to piece together the twisted puzzle right until the resolution. If you, like me, finish this book before book 8 is available, you have my condolences. This was the best in the series so far, and I will be pondering over all the characters and happenings until the next book is released.

This was a refreshing welcome to the series after the ink black heart. 

I'm fascinated by cults so I did enjoy this a lot.   But the average reader should be aware that it discusses tough subjects such as rape and torture and mind control. However,  I felt the final reveal to be a little 'deus ex machina'

This is probably going to be one of my favorite strike books.
