Another excellently crafted detective novel from Galbraith. Tightly plotted, barely a spare word anywhere, vivid descriptions abounding, great dialogue, dark humour too in places. Also, I am really enjoying seeing the wonderful relationship between Strike and Robin develop, and hearing about Strike's old school and army buddies.
