Some months after the fact, a review is here for your delectation. Having already reviewed The Cuckoo’s Calling (and loved it), I was excited to hear that a sequel would be gracing the shelves in 2014. Rowling adopted the pseudonym of Robert Galbraith and introduced readers to the fantastically tenacious and complex Cormoran Strike, that I finally found a modern crime novelist who fits my reading tastes. Give me a non-traditional private detective, such as Poirot or Miss Marple, and I am happy to pass hours unravelling mysteries alongside them. Modern mystery thrillers, in the mould of those by John Grisham, just don’t really do it for me. When it comes to crime fiction, I tend to live exclusively in the past. I have written often of my love for the genre, particularly the works of the Queen of Mystery, Agatha Christie. My adoration of a good mystery is no surprise.
