I’m loving this book so much, but as I’m not yet half way through I don’t want to go to the book discussion thread. I’ve got theories but no one to talk to! I will probably be completely wrong though!
I have just reached 25%. Not had a lot of time to read it yet, will probably take me to the weekend. I'm enjoying it.

I’m only approx 100 pgs in (v busy with work this week & next) but I just want to say

That Kim’s a snidey witch, isn’t she? (Though I am wondering if Jo is leading us up the garden path with her being so explicitly unlikeable, and she’ll turn out to be a top lass 🤔)

I'm about 200 pages in and I agree.

Hoping to binge some more tonight but I also have chores i need to do 😅 I'll be finishing this at the weekend I think

I’ve just finished chapter 54.

I’m getting annoyed. If this thing ends how it is pointing to right now, then I’m not going to be happy. I’m really hoping Jo is just bleeping with us.

I’ve enjoyed all the call backs to previous books, it feels like there are a lot more than usual.

Same! Needed to get it out of my system and now I’ll read it properly. I need book nine though. Fast.
Same. I just get through it asap and have probably missed some points but now I will enjoy it and get all the nuance.

Im the same....skim read finished......now to read back again.

I really enjoyed it, Its a fascinating read..... multi layered as usual........ full of both good and bad.....

How often has JK visited East Anglia? Shout out to Snape, Ipswich and Colchester!!! She must have done a lot of visiting of places, and has a good memory for the travel details!!

I am torn between racing through it and trying to make it last beyond the weekend….

I wonder if Kim and Murphy had a thing and that’s going to all come out somehow? There have been allusions on both sides to them sleeping with a colleague. Perhaps she’s the intel on the case and is deliberately holding stuff back because she wants to “solve it”?

After reading the Running Grave, I went back and read all of them from the start up as far as TIBH. They are so good on a re-read. The character growth is so well done, for both of them

Its kind of all a bit of a soap opera up to now; I’m not really invested in the ‘body in the vault’ case and the ‘private life’ stuff seems to be going round in circles. I have faith that it will all pull together in the second half of the book, but I’ll be honest, I’m not really feeling it yet

so i have finished… i need a relisten but that ending!!! How many books is she going to string with this long love affair between strike and robyn. I enjoyed the book and the references to past books. Just disappointed in the ending again . Why oh why do you do this to us Jo
