Review: Troubled Blood

Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 out of 5 stars - if you ask me, I'll tell you to read it

This was a long (and I mean LONG) meandering story about a murder that (may or may not have) happened 40 years ago. A woman went missing on her way to meet a friend for a drink after work. The case was never solved, because along the way there was an incapacitated police officer, a husband who just wanted to move forward, and a city surrounded by a serial killer. Now, 40 years later, the woman's daughter has hired Strike and Robin to try to find out what happened.

Throughout the story, we actually get more glimpses into the personal lives of Strike and Robin as they struggle with losses of their own (Strike of a family member, Robin of her marriage). It was interesting to see more of their personal lives and connections throughout the story, as well as their reactions to some of the people they encountered along the way.

The mystery/mysteries they encountered along the way were all wrapped up nicely, which is always nice to have. It will be interesting to see where the relationship between the 2 detectives will lead next!
