I agree Kimberly. I was disappointed with the constant use of "F word". It appears that once an author chooses to write for adults, the trash talk comes out. Turns me off. I can read over if it is occasional, but there was a LOT. It did fit the character of Evan Duffield, but we all know he is a jerk even w/out all the language. It becomes meaningless when it is constant.
Reading the Taiwanese translation now. Apart from the first encounter between Robin and Strike, it looks like the translators manage to translate out the F bombs or replace them with an equivalent Chinese phrase that is less explosive.
