Crime, Thrillers & Mystery,Mystery Troubled Blood (Cormoran Strike 5) by Robert Galbraith Private Detective Cormoran Strike is visiting his family in Cornwall when he is approached by a woman asking for help finding her mother, Margot Bamborough – who went missing in mysterious circumstances in 1974.Strike has never tackled a cold case before, let alone one forty years old. But despite the slim chance of success, he is intrigued and takes it on; adding to the long list of cases that he and his partner in the agency, Robin Ellacott, are currently working on. And Robin herself is also juggling a messy divorce and unwanted male attention, as well as battling her own feelings about Strike.As Strike and Robin investigate Margot’s disappearance, they come up against a fiendishly complex case with leads that include tarot cards, a psychopathic serial killer and witnesses who cannot all be trusted. And they learn that even cases decades old can prove to be deadly . . .A breathtaking, labyrinthine epic, Troubled Blood is the fifth Strike and Robin novel and the most gripping and satisfying yet.Praise for the Strike series:‘A blistering piece of crime writing’Sunday Times’The work of a master storyteller‘ Daily Telegraph’Unputdownable‘Daily Express’Highly inventive storytelling’Guardian’Superb . . . an ingenious whodunnit’Sunday Mirror’Come for the twists and turns and stay for the beautifully drawn central relationship’ Independent’Outrageously entertaining‘Financial Times

This book is fantastic (speaking as someone who has actually read the book, unlike some ‘reviewers’ on the internet who just want to sabotage ratings and slate the author – thank you, Amazon, for not being like a certain highstreet bookstore who lets people add libellous posts about the author and who have absolutely no intention of reading the book but just want to vent their anger).This book is a fantastic addition to the series, with another great mystery to solve and one which further develops the relationship between Strike and Robin. It is gripping and full of twists and turns.It’s heavy and there are almost 1,000 pages but that just makes it value for money! Cannot wait for the next book in the series.Don’t just follow the hateful rhetoric online blindly, read the book yourself and you will see that the torrent of abuse levelled at Rowling in respect of this novel is entirely unfounded.

JK Rowling writing under the name of Robert Galbraith gives us another great novel with Cormoran Strike. Of course I know that some will think this is perhaps too long, and we can already see people on here reviewing this before they have even read it. Here then we see Robin going through a rather acrimonious divorce with Matthew, with the wondering still if Cormoran and Robin will get it on. For their detective agency, things though are looking up, with bringing in new detectives to help them solve a number of cases on their books. As this book opens we see Cormoran down in St Mawes, Cornwall as his aunt is dying from aggressive cancer. Down in the local pub so he is approached by a woman, and a new case is started for the agency. On the 11th October 1974 this woman’s mum, a GP, suddenly disappeared, and has never been seen again.The first major cold case for the agency, although this is the main plot if you like behind this tale, it is not the only thing that is covered by this book. We see other cases being solved the family dynamics surrounding Cormoran, his father and his aunt, and something that I am going through at the moment, the deterioration of a close family member, who really you are just waiting to die (something which made me end up taking longer to read this book than I would have). This of course will resonate with a number of people, as will the issues of growing old, general physical sickness, and mental health problems. So, we are given a fully fleshed out story here that takes in many issues, but at the heart is of course the nearly forty year old mystery of what happened to a certain female doctor. Cormoran is given a year to try and solve this case by the client, but things are not that simple, or looking that good. Some of the people who they would like to interview have deceased, the original chief detective on the case was suffering with mental impairment, and when he was eventually replaced, so everything had to gone over from the beginning. With gangsters still around when the disappearance occurred, having to rely on people’s memories from years in the past, and a serial killer operating in the area at the time, so something that is difficult in itself seems to be near nigh impossible.The mystery plotting is very good, although with careful reading you may be able to solve it, and although I expect a number of people will start mentioning Agatha Christie, I would say really in a few places this made me think of some of Margery Allingham’s novels. Of course with a serial killer mentioned in this tale, and the current showing of the Nilsen drama on TV people will be looking for parallels, although the killer in this story is more depraved, and did more than just murder, and only preyed on women.What stands out here of course is the characterisation, and the fully thought out scenes, and you will find some great people here, although a number are really quite loathsome. This book does make you think of family, and also whether there is real evil in the world, or just madness. With the original detective on the case, we see his own notes that he kept on the mystery, and thus get an insight into him, and the way he started using astrology to try and save the case, with extracts (including pictures) which shows how wrong he was, but also at the same time how near he was to really solving the case. An intriguing read this is a book that is hard to put down and makes for one of those reads where you can just curl up and read to your heart’s content.
