About this listen
THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, JULY 2023
'A superlative piece of crime fiction' SUNDAY TIMES
'There can be no denying [Galbraith's] considerable talents as a crime writer' GUARDIAN
'Fans will be as entranced as ever' DAILY MAIL
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.©2022 J.K. Rowling (P)2022 Hachette Audio UK
It’s hard to convey today’s social media cesspool and its consequences but I think it’s a brave move to try.
Twitter, Reddit etc have an inevitable downside, allowing people to hide, bully and worse.
Lifting the lid on this is a difficult read but anyone who does manage this will be enlightened and thanks to the narrator- entertained.
That said, someone on the production team should have known boi is pronounced boy, not Bwah!
This is so jarring and makes no sense.
It’s a bit rambling at times, but a ripping yarn nevertheless.

Editing after the finish. I do wish the people who gave up before the end had stuck with it. Robert Galbraith writes for print, so the difficulties engendered by audio performance are acceptable to me. The story is what I wanted and we certainly got a great story.
Great to have Robin and Cormoran's next phase completed. Can't wait for the next one.
It's Strike.

It’s not a book to have on in the background while you wash the dishes; it’s one you have to concentrate on so you don’t get lost in the chatter. Galbraith never leaves you wondering what the point of listening to all that was, Strike and Ellicot always discuss it between themselves as they usually do, throwing ideas at each other.
There are the usually shocks, twists, and an unexpected ending with underlying humour. Of course, Strike’s usual dismal relationships with females continue, and the firm’s two partners are still dancing around each other in regard to their feelings so much I just wanted to put them in a room until they hashed it out.
Please listen to the end if you can, it’s Galbraith’s best so far and it’s well worth the 32+ hours of your time.
Brilliant
