Publisher Description
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.
Customer Reviews
The Ink Black Heart
Enjoyable book but listening via audio is repetitive and heavy in places when twitter / emails are described as the ‘addresses’ are read.
Wrong content for audio
This novel is in large part messages between people online. As a result it doesn’t really work as an audiobook, as you’re mostly listening to lists of names being read out, or clusters of hashtags.
The plot and character are great though- read it though, don’t listen to it.
Loved all the other books this is tedious
This is about on line trolls so there is an awful lot of exchanges of emails and chats which are hard to understand and somewhat irritating. I am fast forwarding most of the book,to avoid the tedium I’m afraid I’m going to abandon this audio book. It’s just too dull Poor Mr. Glennister having to narrate this tosh
