About this audiobook
Winner of the Crime and Thriller British Book of the Year Award 2021
Shortlisted for Audiobook of the Year Award at the British Book Awards 2021
Private Detective Cormoran Strike is visiting his family in Cornwall when he is approached by a woman asking for help finding her mother, Margot Bamborough - who went missing in mysterious circumstances in 1974.
Strike has never tackled a cold case before, let alone one forty years old. But despite the slim chance of success, he is intrigued and takes it on; adding to the long list of cases that he and his partner in the agency, Robin Ellacott, are currently working on. And Robin herself is also juggling a messy divorce and unwanted male attention, as well as battling her own feelings about Strike.
As Strike and Robin investigate Margot's disappearance, they come up against a fiendishly complex case with leads that include tarot cards, a psychopathic serial killer and witnesses who cannot all be trusted. And they learn that even cases decades old can prove to be deadly . . .
A breathtaking, labyrinthine epic, Troubled Blood is the fifth Strike and Robin novel and the most gripping and satisfying yet.

Spekulativ i voldsbeskrivelsenr, og altfor lang. All tidligere sympati for figurene blir borte,og hele plottet virker som en endeløs rekke av anledninger til å ri kjepphester.

Loved the book and the narrator is absolutely 10/10. I did not predict the ending AT ALL. Brilliant storytelling.
