I liked The Black Wolf better than The Grey Wolf...until the end. It was as if she had reached her word count and decided to wrap it up as quickly as possible. All summarized. It wasn't very satisfying. However, it was pretty amazing how prescient Pen ...more

I think this is one of those incidences where I'm just not the right reader for this book. I read it, I finished it, but I couldn't tell you about the curse and what it was and what they had to do to counteract it. And then I realized, I didn't much ...more

For me, clearly the least interesting of the Thursday Murder books. The plot seemed to "fly away" in so many directions, it just lost me and I didn't care. The characters went with those strands and I ended up not caring about them either. Well, exce ...more

I had a hard time remembering this work is a memoir as it read as easily as fiction. When I wasn't actively reading it, I was thinking about the "characters" and anxious to get back to them. I was invested in their lives and loves and tribulations. I' ...more

I'm always happy to slide into Strike and Robin's lives and Galbraith/Rowling makes it easy. However, I'm questioning Robin's choice of men--and that includes Strike. 900 pages and "will they, won't they" every other page. It's exhausting. As usual, I ...more
