I love Cormoran and Robin. Like others in this series it's dark and creepy but it's also exciting. I didn't solve the mystery own my own and that's always a bonus for me.
This one has a bit of an unexpected tease that makes me anxious to pick up book 4 the minute it comes out. ( )

'I do,' said Robin in a ringing voice, looking straight into the eyes, not of her stony-faced new husband, but of the battered and bloodied man who had just sent her flowers crashing to the floor.
