Troubled Blood

Troubled Blood is by Robert Galbraith. The fifth installment of the realistic fiction Cormoran Strike mystery series. Cormoran and Robin are feeling the pressure. They have several time intensive cases at work and are also dealing with personal problems. Cormoran's beloved Aunt Joan is dying of cancer; he's getting suicidal texts from his ex-girlfriend Charlotte; and his half-siblings are trying to arrange a reunion with their famous father. Robin is in the middle of a contentious divorce from Matthew; trying to adjust to single life; and trying to fend off the advances of an obnoxious employee that the agency can't afford to lose at the moment. Then they are hired by a young woman to find her mother who has been missing for forty years and was believed to be the victim of a serial killer, yet her body has never been found. This case is the strangest of all the books so far, and we really get a good look into Strike's and Robin's relationship issues. Fans of the series will LOVE this installment. 

Ratings: Adult - 9 out of 10 - P (profanity) - V (violence) - AC (mature thematic content).
