Publisher Description
The latest installment in the highly acclaimed, internationally bestselling Strike series finds Cormoran and Robin ensnared in another winding, wicked case.
When frantic, disheveled 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 cocreator 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
Another great mystery!
Lots of colorful characters to keep readers on their toes about "who did it." Strike and Robin's relationship continues to develop.
Least favorite
I’m addicted to this series but book 6 was a bore! I could absolutely careless about social media so every time we had to deal with “hashtag….” it was confusing and very uninteresting. In fact, of the six books, I chose not to finish it. My friend told me the rest. Looking forward to #7 and hope that JK Rawlings gets back on track. Also, enough of the “will they, won’t they” with the two. This isn’t Friends or Cheers (Sam and Diane / Ross and Rachel).
Disappointed
Really like the characters in this series but this book was a disappointment. Way to long and didn’t read well with all on online chats. And the killer??? Ugh
