My first book to be completed this year as part of my reading challenge is Robert Galbraith's Legal White which is the 4th book in the Cormoran Strike series.
On the 23rd of March 2018, J.K. Rowling aka Robert Galbraith announced the completion of the manuscript, after writing it for approximately 2 years. Legal White continues to follow private detective Cormoran Strike and his partner Robin Ellacott and is the longest book in the series so far. Legal White was published the 18th of September 2018.
The story begins with a prologue following immediately after the conclusion of Career of Evil, detailing events taking place at Robin's wedding reception. J.K. Rowling has said there is tentative plans to follow Legal White with at least 5 more books.
'I seen a kid killed... He strangled it, up by the horse.'
When Billy, a troubled young man, comes to private eye Cormoran Strike's office to ask for his help investigating a crime he thinks he witnessed as a child, Strike is left deeply unsettled. While Billy is obviously mentally distressed, and cannot remember many concrete details, there is something sincere about him and his story. But before Strike can question him further, Billy bolts in a panic.
Trying to get to the bottom of Billy's Story, Strike and Robin Ellacott - Once his assistant, now a partner in the agency - set off on a twisting trail that leads them through the backstreets of London, into a secretive inner sanctum within Parliament, and to a beautiful but sinister manor house deep in the countryside.
And during the labyrinthine investigation, Strike's own life is far from straightforward: his new found fame as a private eye means he can no longer operate behind the scenes as he once did. Plus, his relationship with his former assistant is more fraught than it ever has been - Robin is now invaluable to Strike in the business, but their personal relationship is much, much more tricky than that...
The most epic Robert Galbraith novel yet, Legal White is both a gripping mystery and a page-turning next instalment in the ongoing story of Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott.
I've been holding back from reading this book, since I got it on publication day, so I could have it part of this years reading challenge. I'm loving the personal journeys that both Robin and Strike are taking and I can't wait to see where there journey takes them both next, it's definitely seems to be heading down on a route I didn't think it would when I started reading this series. One of the things I loved about Career of Evil was that each chapter was told from either Strike or Robin's point of view, whereas in Legal White it in a similar way but also crossing over, It could start from Strike and end with Robin. I struggled to put Legal White down and it definitely took a turn that I wasn't expecting and it definitely ended in a way I wasn't expecting, which means I can't wait for the next book, but I'm guessing it could be a long while before the next one is released.
I highly recommend the Strike series if you're a fan of crime and investigation style books, Legal White is full of emotion, suspense, excitement and cliffhangers that make you want to keep reading until you reach that final page in the story.
