Why read it?
1 author picked Lethal White as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
What attracts me to the series is the relationship between the main character, Cormoran Strike and his sundry accomplices, especially his one-time secretary and now partner, Robin Ellacott.
A wonderful aspect of book four in the series is that we find out more about what motivates Robin to continue taking on dangerous tasks. The parallel storyline of her fraught relationship with her new husband adds to the tension as she, Strike, and their various collaborators work furiously to unmask a killer.
Recommended if you enjoy character-driven series.
From T. R.'s list on crime thrillers that leave you wanting more.
