The Ink Black Heart (Cormoran Strike, #6)

It was too long for a mystery book, the other parts aka Strike-Robin situation was a mess from start to finish. A good chunk of this needed some serious editing and perhaps it is Rowling who got away with this length in this particular genre.
I guess the hate train that Rowling experienced for her transphobic comments was the inspiration behind this because this book was full of online hate and how people feel safe behind the screen of their computers or phones. And the people on the receiving end had to bear so much.
It was good mystery but the length was too much to go through. I felt like one of contract help that the Strike hires to observe their targets, following people around or just sitting out their houses, waiting/praying something to happen but everything remains still for a long time. By the time the suspect trips, it is not a feeling of triumph but the elation of ordeal being finally over.

This one in the series was the last one I tried to read. Rowling really ought to stop writing her feeling of being a victim in these books. Good luck with the buddy read!

Agree. Hope next book will be better than this.
I really enjoyed some books of this series, others I dropped when they became too violent/graphic. While I liked the writing and mysteries in general, it was the developing relationship between Cormoran and Robin that kept me reading, although I thought it was drawn out more than needed.
Me too!! And I concur, she has dragged this too long, still I don't see them coming to their senses in next two books. :(
