Early on in this book I found myself getting a bit irritated at the whole will they/won’t they thing between Robin and Strike, but I’ll admit I did get more and more invested in their relationship as the book progressed.
There was lots happening in this book – lots of character development and lots of threads of plot – from dog fighting, sex trafficking, freemasonry, silversmithing, classism etc and although I enjoyed listening, I did get a bit confused and lost at times (I thought it was just because I’m getting old and literally losing the plot, but I was relieved to see that some other reviewers also felt a bit confused at times!).
I do like this series though, and will definitely keep reading (if only because the books always seem to end on a bit of a cliff-hanger regarding the Robin-Strike situation).
