Robert Galbraith is a pseudonym for J.K. Rowling, bestselling author of the Harry Potter series and The Casual Vacancy. The four previous Strike novels, The Cuckoo's Calling, The Silkworm, Career of Evil and Lethal White, topped the national and international bestseller lists and the series has been adapted for television, produced by Bronte Film and Television.
Addictive, murderous fun.
--Vox
At times you might feel as you did when reading the Harry Potter
books, particularly later in the series, when they got longer and
looser. You love the plot, and you love being in the company of the
characters, and you admire the author's voice and insights and
ingenuity, and you relish the chance to relax into a book without
feeling rushed or puzzled or shortchanged.... Long live the fertile
imagination and prodigious output of J.K. Rowling.--The New York
Times
Compulsively readable.--People
Even if the world is the seedy underbelly of contemporary London
and not Magical Hogwarts, cracking the cover of a Galbraith novel
is like stepping through a portal. You're immersed all at
once.--Bustle
If you love the intricate, character-driven mysteries written by
Tana French and Kate Atkinson, then chances are good that you'll
enjoy the ones by Robert Galbraith. . . . Robert Galbraith knows
how to tell a story every bit as deftly as does J.K. Rowling.
Cormoran Strike, who lost a leg in Afghanistan, may limp painfully
through much of the book, but the tale being told never misses a
step.--Joyce Saenz Harris, Dallas Morning News
One of contemporary crime fiction's most delightful
partnerships.--Seattle Times
Rowling deftly circumnavigates all of the tropes and constructs
that have long since relegated the male-author-dominated thriller
genre to a place of ridicule and sheer inanity.
--Tablet Magazine
Rowling's emotionally intelligent portrayal of her protagonists
never overwhelms the whodunit story line.--Publishers Weekly,
Starred Review
Rowling's wizardry as a writer is on fulsome display in Lethal
White ( 3.5/4 stars), a behemoth of a novel that flies by in a
flash. This is a crime series deeply rooted in the real world,
where brutality and ugliness are leavened by the oh-so-human flaws
and virtues of Galbraith's irresistible hero and heroine.--USA
Today
"A scrupulous plotter and master of misdirection, Galbraith keeps
the pages turning."--Guardian
"Troubled Blood's" central mystery is a strong one, and watching it
unfold over the course of a protracted investigation is one of the
novel's great pleasures...Rowling's greatest novelistic gifts are
her ability to spin wild, intricate plots (witness the astrological
elements of this latest book), and to create colorful, highly
individual characters who come instantly alive on the page."--Bill
Sheehan, Washington Post
