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
Yes the online dialogue can be hard to follow at first but this is how things are now in the world and I praise JK for bringing this to her novel. Plus it has the humour we all love with the Strike novels and the love woes of Strike and Robin.
Stick with it people!! Remember a lot of people young and old commit suicide or commit crimes due to online bulling or comments, this novel is keeping up with the times!
Brilliant - Stick with it!

one common complaint that I saw was the number of Twitter slash instant message conversations in the pros. and I will admit, it is rather difficult to listen to Twitter conversations being read aloud. I think those parts of the book will definitely work better on a page than as audio. I don't, however, believe this is any fault of the narrator and certainly not the fault of the author. I think it's just a limitation of the audiobook format - the only thing I can think to make it easier to follow would have been to hire additional narrators - just to make the back and forth of these conversations easier to listen to.
the plot is complex and grepping, the cast of characters is at times overwhelming but the attention to detail is phenomenal and I found it very hard to put down my phone while listening! I found myself looking forward to my daily commute - just to squeeze in a few more hours of listening time.
the best so far
