Book Review: Letal white - R. Galbraith

Cormoran Strike serie - book 4
Loved it! I think it is the best novel yet in the serie, both for the crime plot itself and for the personal stories of Cormoran and Robin and the relationship between the two.
The book is written in a masterly way, you just want more, even if it is over 600 pages. The written English is rich and sophisticated and at the same time it represents so well the accents and the slang of the characters.
Intense plot with several motives and parallel crimes going on, it never stops to surprise and grip.
I love Cormoran, he is such a laid back yet intense detective.
A must read and I cannot wait to see the TV adaptation too!

The Plot:

When Billy, a troubled young man, comes to private eye Cormoran Strike's office to ask for his help investigating a crime he thinks he witnessed as a child, Strike is left deeply unsettled. 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 more tricky than that .
