Cormoran Strike #6

No secret to anyone anymore, this is actually J. K. Rowling, an author so famous that each book she writes is guaranteed to sell millions of copies--no matter what. I imagine this why she was allowed a such a rambling book--a book that is at the minimum 700 pages too long. 

In addition of being too long, it is overly complicated, has way to many characters (who each have at the minimum 3 different identies), long streams of private online chatter, with often at least 3 separate channels, and on different social media platforms. A gazillion mentions of Corm's sore leg (by now it is a separate story line), his self destructive behavior which is still written as if it is something that makes him a sympathetic character--including his passive agressive behavior towards yet another GF and another go round with Charlotte. All women must want him "ick"...I will keep reading the series but it is looking doubtful I will make it to the end.

To me--this seemed a 1,000 more pages of the same old same old dressed out around a very big mess of a case--and oh yes, Corm and Robin almost kiss, again.
