## Description

An unsettling cold case investigation ensnares Cormoran Strike and his partner in a web of dangerous secrets in this #1 New York Times bestseller, the inspiration for HBO Max's acclaimed series C.B. Strike . When a troubled young man named Billy asks Cormoran Strike to help him investigate a crime he witnessed as a child, the private eye is left deeply troubled. While Billy is obviously mentally distressed and cannot remember many concrete details, there is something sincere about him and his story. But before Strike can question him further, Billy bolts from his office in a panic. Trying to get to the bottom of Billy's story, Strike and Robin Ellacott -- once his assistant, now a partner in the agency -- set off on a twisting trail that leads them through the backstreets of London, into a secretive inner sanctum within Parliament, and to a beautiful but sinister manor house deep in the countryside. And during this labyrinthine investigation, Strike's own life is far from straightforward. His newfound fame as a private eye means he can no longer operate behind the scenes as he once did. Plus, his relationship with his former assistant is more fraught than it ever has been; Robin is now invaluable to Strike in the business, but their personal relationship is much, much trickier than that. The most epic Robert Galbraith novel yet, Lethal White is "addictive, murderous fun" for British mystery lovers and crime fiction fans alike ( Vox ).

Review: A great book in a great series - An amazing new chapter in this book series. Galbraith/Rowling proves they are a great writer, as usual. The book balances well the mystery and the human story and they are both very compelling. The plot is well-crafted and the investigation gives us the opportunity to explore new social environments and to meet interesting characters. This book series is a great exploration of British society in the 21st Century. This time we explore the world of politics, in its ramifications from Tories to the Extreme Left. Galbraith/Rowling has a Dickens-like ability to create secondary characters that are both unique and representative of their society. The other great point of the book is the human life of our protagonists, Cormoran and Robin. While the book could be shorter if it were mystery alone, I am glad it is this long, since it allows me to spend time with them and see their inner life plays out. Just like the third book, this one is an important milestone in their evolution as character. I am looking forward to see them develop further and it is very unfortunate that we have to wait a couple of years before reading the next book in the series.
Review: Awesome addition to the series. - The long-awaited fourth installment of the Strike series has arrived at last! My greedy hands snatched it up and devoured the near-700 pages in a single weekend. Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott are off on another adventure - this one larger and grander than any of their previous tales. This one took about 250 pages to get going. My friends reading along with me had similar feedback. It's a tediously slow and complicated start and just about the opposite of a page turner. Towards page 300 things really get going and the story veers into movement. I really enjoyed it after that. Have some patience for this one if you feel the same. In the end, it was worth the investment and really paid off. In fact, it may be about my favorite book of the series. And even though the first third was pretty meh, I never mind just being in the company of these characters. And the plot itself is pretty complicated, so I suppose the intense set up was more than necessary. On a negative note, I'm not a fan of the Matthew/Robin side story that's been going on for, at this point, about 1500 pages and four entire novels (someone should have stopped that madness!!). I wish I understood the ultimate aim here or why we've had to sit through the longest, most boring breakup in novel history (or which feels like a break up anyway, and has since book one). I get it to an extent, what with Robin's history, but my patience has worn thin. Unfortunately I can't comment further without giving spoilers. But needless to say I was both satisfied and frustrated with some of the outcomes there. There were a few questions I had after I read it. Perhaps some plot holes, things that didn't quite add up to me. I tend to overthink stories and I'm guilty at trying to connect everything. When I was done, I was not satisfied with Billy's role in the story despite the neatly tied up closure we get. Not to be nit picky, but it's a huge part of the story. Discussion with my friends didn't help anything (they all agreed it was loosey goosey) but overall it didn't detract from the overall story. No spoilers of course, so you have to decide for yourself. On a positive note, this was one of the more exciting books in the series. Tons of undercover work, road trips, treks through the woods, lots of interviews and clues and research, all set against the backdrop of the 2012 London Olympics, which was mildly interesting but served well as a juxtaposition for social commentary. Most importantly, I felt like both Strike and Robin really glowed in this one. I felt like I got to know them both even better than before, with their character development really off the charts. The chemistry between these characters is brilliant, and they are at their best when they are looking out for one another. We meet some new friends, and revisit some old ones, and all is good fun. The mystery itself was complicated and challenging, but felt very real. You have tons and tons of twists and turns and surprises waiting for you in this one. Highly recommended! And can't wait for this one to make it to the series. I just love Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Couldn't Put It Down!
*by C***N on December 10, 2018*

Welcome return to the rich storytelling of a great writer! A fantastic series gets an exciting new edition, cementing not only the writer’s quality but ensuring excellent characters see a lifetime in print. The pacing of the mystery beautifully interweaves with deepening the personal lives of the two primary characters. The clues to the mystery spread effortlessly throughout the narrative, often pulling in pieces previously mentioned in casual conversation, giving the crucial impulse to break the case. Robin’s personal trials are a tough read: painful, forlorn, trapped in competing notions of the “best life.” You want to scream at the “obvious” solution to her problems, worried that you may treat your own difficulties as insurmountable, that your own solutions may be so easily identifiable to others. “…before she could be trapped, as she now saw it, by cowardice disguised as compassion.” The story is set in 2012, so the ease with which Strike completes his preliminary online research into the personal lives of persons of interest would not be possible today, what with the stricter online privacy laws in effect and people learning the dangers of putting so much of their lives on indestructible media. Oh, wait… Matthew. Go f*** yourself. Seriously. Great line: * “Life had taught him that a great and powerful love could be felt for the most apparently unworthy people, a circumstance that ought, after all, to give everybody consolation.” Note: does not apply to Matthew (see above).
