TROUBLED BLOOD
by
Robert Galbraith
Wow.
When I finish a book like Troubled Blood, I usually like to let it sit for a while - to let the experience steep, or percolate - before I begin to write my review. This is especially true with a book like Troubled Blood, as the Cormoran Strike series by J. K. Rowling (writing as Robert Galbraith) is one of my very favorite series of all time. As I love Cormoran Strike, it is important to me to do my very best so that one who might happen to stumble upon my review will learn the gospel about this great series.
But, as I finished this wonderful new addition to the series, all I could think was Wow. So, I waited a day or two - waiting to wax eloquent (or, perhaps, wax poetic) - but I cannot seem to get beyond Wow. I could summarize the plot - or explain a little about the characters - or describe how I think Troubled Blood, the fifth installment in the Cormoran Strike series, is the best one yet. But, when I think about so doing, my inclination is that these would be better achieved were I to stand on a corner and hand out copies of the book (though I would recommend that a reader unfamiliar with the series read them in order).
So, for now, my review is simple:
Wow. Just Wow.
