Lethal White is Robert Galbraith’s (aka J.K.
Rowlings') forth book in her Corman Strike series. Strike’s former assistant Robin has been
elevated to partner in their now famous and growing detective agency. Strike’s notoriety lands him a case with the
irritable Jasper Chizzle, Minister for Culture who claims he’s being
blackmailed. With grown children from
three marriages, rumblings about quasi-legal activities, and disagreements with
other politicians, Chizzle’s case proves complex and broad in scope for the two
detectives. Then when Chizzle is murdered
and the police call it suicide, one of Chizzle’s daughters hires Strike and
Robin to find the truth. Finding that
truth proves dangerous for both partners.
Meanwhile, both Strike and Robin’s personal lives are in shambles but
the chemistry between the two thrives on adversity.
I thoroughly
enjoyed this book. Even though it was a
bit long for a mystery, I was never bored or confused and hated to see it end…
a sign of good writing.
