The Hallmarked Man by Robert Galbraith

 



Just a quick note on this one - this is the 8th in the Cormoran Strike series and I loved every second of it.  The detectives are working on several cases at once (wish I had taken notes to keep all the names straight, actually!), but focused on identifying a mutilated body found in the vault of a silver shop specializing in Masonic silver pieces. And trying NOT to focus on their feelings for each other, as they have been doing through most of this series, so nothing new there.  Well, except for the ending!!  If you thought #7 was a cliff hanger, just you wait!!

I really enjoy this series.  The writing is sharp and witty, the cases always go in several circles that wind up in places you never see coming, and the characters are well fleshed out, different, and have their own side plots.  I have not yet watched the TV show, called Strike, but might trick my husband into watching it now that White Collar is off Netflix.  Ugh.

And, yes, I know who the author really is and I think she is an amazing story teller.  The end.
