This is the fourth book in the Strike series written pseudonymously by J.K Rowling. Each book improves on the last; every one of the 650 pages was packed with story.
The book begins with Robin's wedding to Matt. The intricacies of Robin's love life and Strike's are just as compelling as the crime they're investigating.
The pair has been hired by an MP who is being blackmailed. The story is complex. It moves between a socialist thug and his girlfriend, the MPs posh horsey family, and other politicians.
My only slight criticism is that Strike has problems with his amputated leg throughout the book. I'm hoping he gets a new state of the art prosthesis in the next book, because I wouldn't want to read another one about it. Other than that, I can't wait for the next one.
