Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith (English) Paperback Book

Description: Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith In the epic fifth installment in this "compulsively readable" (People) series, Galbraiths "irresistible hero and heroine" (USA Today) take on the decades-old cold case of a missing doctor, one which may be their grisliest yet. 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 Margots 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 . . . FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Robert Galbraith is a pseudonym for J.K. Rowling, bestselling author of the Harry Potter series and The Casual Vacancy. The four previous Strike novels, The Cuckoos Calling, The Silkworm, Career of Evil and Lethal White, topped the national and international bestseller lists and the series has been adapted for television, produced by Brontë Film and Television. Review "Addictive, murderous fun."--Vox"At times you might feel as you did when reading the Harry Potter books, particularly later in the series, when they got longer and looser. You love the plot, and you love being in the company of the characters, and you admire the authors voice and insights and ingenuity, and you relish the chance to relax into a book without feeling rushed or puzzled or shortchanged.... Long live the fertile imagination and prodigious output of J.K. Rowling."--Sarah Lyall, The New York Times"Compulsively readable."--People"Even if the world is the seedy underbelly of contemporary London and not Magical Hogwarts, cracking the cover of a Galbraith novel is like stepping through a portal. Youre immersed all at once."--Bustle"If you love the intricate, character-driven mysteries written by Tana French and Kate Atkinson, then chances are good that youll enjoy the ones by Robert Galbraith. . . . Robert Galbraith knows how to tell a story every bit as deftly as does J.K. Rowling. Cormoran Strike, who lost a leg in Afghanistan, may limp painfully through much of the book, but the tale being told never misses a step."--Joyce Sáenz Harris, Dallas Morning News"One of contemporary crime fictions most delightful partnerships."--Seattle Times"Rowling deftly circumnavigates all of the tropes and constructs that have long since relegated the male-author-dominated thriller genre to a place of ridicule and sheer inanity."--Tablet Magazine"Rowlings emotionally intelligent portrayal of her protagonists never overwhelms the whodunit story line."--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review"Rowlings wizardry as a writer is on fulsome display in Lethal White ( 3.5/4 stars), a behemoth of a novel that flies by in a flash. This is a crime series deeply rooted in the real world, where brutality and ugliness are leavened by the oh-so-human flaws and virtues of Galbraiths irresistible hero and heroine."--USA Today"A scrupulous plotter and master of misdirection, Galbraith keeps the pages turning."--Clare Clark, The Guardian"Cormoran Strike, the detective hero of an enjoyable series of books by Robert Galbraith (a pen name for J.K. Rowling), has his most complex adventure yet in Troubled Blood. This hefty volume is stuffed with intrigue, surprise, action, violence, social comedy and romance: "value for money," as the British say.... Our pseudonymous author sorts everything out by the end with the skill of a world-class storyteller."--Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal"Troubled Bloods" central mystery is a strong one, and watching it unfold over the course of a protracted investigation is one of the novels great pleasures...Rowlings greatest novelistic gifts are her ability to spin wild, intricate plots (witness the astrological elements of this latest book), and to create colorful, highly individual characters who come instantly alive on the page."--Bill Sheehan, Washington PostA Wall Street Journal Best Book of 2020 Review Quote "Rowlings wizardry as a writer is on fulsome display in Lethal White ( 3.5/4 stars), a behemoth of a novel that flies by in a flash. This is a crime series deeply rooted in the real world, where brutality and ugliness are leavened by the oh-so-human flaws and virtues of Galbraiths irresistible hero and heroine."-- USA Today Details ISBN0316498955 Author Robert Galbraith Pages 944 Language English Year 2021 ISBN-10 0316498955 ISBN-13 9780316498951 Format Paperback Imprint Mulholland Books Series Number 5 Publication Date 2021-06-22 Publisher Mulholland Books Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2021-06-22 NZ Release Date 2021-06-22 US Release Date 2021-06-22 UK Release Date 2021-06-22 Series Cormoran Strike Novel DEWEY 823.914 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
