When frantic, dishevelled Edie Ledwell appears in the office begging to speak to her, private detective Robin Ellacott doesn't know quite what to make of the situation. The co-creator of a popular cartoon, The Ink Black Heart, Edie is being persecuted by a mysterious online figure who goes by the pseudonym of Anomie. Edie is desperate to uncover Anomie's true identity.

Robin decides that the agency can't help with this - and thinks nothing more of it until a few days later, when she reads the shocking news that Edie has been tasered and then murdered in Highgate Cemetery, the location of The Ink Black Heart.

Robin and her business partner Cormoran Strike become drawn into the quest to uncover Anomie's true identity. But with a complex web of online aliases, business interests and family conflicts to navigate, Strike and Robin find themselves embroiled in a case that stretches their powers of deduction to the limits - and which threatens them in new and horrifying ways . . .

A gripping, fiendishly clever mystery, The Ink Black Heart is a true tour-de-force.©2022 J.K. Rowling (P)2022 Hachette Audio UK Action & Adventure Crime Crime Thrillers Mystery Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Private Investigators Thriller & Suspense Women Sleuths Fiction

I'm not a great fan of hashtag writing - lots and lots of text given over to chats, emails etc. Even in the hands of a master it can get very tedious. But otherwise, lots to love about the Cormoran and Robyn plotline - their agency, their dysfunctional lives, their detecting instincts, their relationship (GET ON WITH IT). And the book does shine an important light on the ramifications for young women who have an online presence or put their heads above the parapet. The narrator, Robert Glenister is a very fine actor and does a cracking job here.

Not my favourite but still compelling

Since a lot of the clues come in our written format to the detectives, it does not give a good listening experience.

Cyber crime does not work well on audio format

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Main characters wonderful.
Chapters of texts, tweets, messaging unbearable listening, had to skip heaps! Disappointing.

Part Great Part Tedious

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The series has not lost any of its humour, great story line, as the side line of romance continues yet doesn’t dominate the story

As the story unfolds keeping you enthralled throughout the whole plot It certainly keeps you guessing as to the culprit and brains behind this web of intrigue in The Ink Black Heart

Can’t wait to read the next book in the series and also watch the forthcoming tv series.

Another CB Strike that keeps you enthralled

Too long, soo complex, such dithering about their obvious relationship (!) - but I couldn’t put it down!

Eish!
