What was it about her that made men demand that she keep their dirty secrets?

Robin and Strike.
Strike and Robin.

Bollocks, why is this book so long? Don’t we all continue this series to see if these two characters realize they are more than just partners? After reading almost one thousand pages, I am not sure this arc has progressed that much further.

Success, as Cormoran Strike had long since learned, is a much more complex business than most people suppose.

In this installment, Troubled Blood, we have ourselves a forty year old cold case - to find a woman who mysteriously disappeared. This labyrinth of a case adds to an already busy case load for both Robin and Strike. While both are dealing with family matters, messy divorce for Robin, and health issues for Strike’s aunt - they have each other to lean on.

For a moment Robin simply looked at him, then she reached up and hugged him tightly.
