Took me a while to read but I loved it! I preferred the first book to this one just because it took longer to pick up the pace but it was good nonetheless.
Something I do think requires improvement, though, is Robin - I feel like she's a bit empty in personality, very submissive. I hope this changes in the next book.

‘The Silkworm’ is such a gripping read and I think I have the biggest crush on Strike. Shame about the author though.

Another cracking crime novel from Galbraith. A little slow to start, but super exciting ending.

I hope we get more Cormoran Strike novels - I really enjoy them.
