The Ink Black Heart by Robert GalbraithMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Love this series. The characters and plotting are great. Rowling keeps you guessing about whodunnit. Cormoran and Robin are a great duo -- though they are skating into 'Sam and Diane' territory. I agree with many critics of this particular book, it was probably longer than it needed to be -- but I love the characters and the story telling so much, I didn't care. Robert Glenister is a master narrator, he really brings the characters alive and captures the subtle nuances of accents, ages, and state of mind.
The story here revolves around an online game and twitter; Rowling does a great job of capture both the ways in which the online world connects people but also the real dangers and pitfalls of these online connections. She does a great job of capture the troll-ness of twitter and social media -- much of which Rowling herself has direct experience with.
