Yes, why DOES he for heaven’s sake hire a private investigator? That is an insane thing to do and I do not feel satisfied in my
mind about why it happens. Maybe other commenters will have some ideas…

I have a couple questions. Maybe other readers of “Cuckoo’s Calling” can shed some light:) I really enjoyed the book but while reading, a couple things bothered me. The one thing that really jumped out at me as being a bit forced and out of nowhere was when Strike goes into the wardrobe of Lulas mother and finds the will in the lining of the purse. I guess u could make it work by saying he suspected that would be the case…maybe??? It just sort of seemed too easy. And the other question I asked myself at the end is why in the world John Bristow hired Strike in the first place…he would have gotten away with the murder if he hadn’t hired him to investigate. I mean, I just don’t get that…even tho Bristow was a madman, it still doesn’t make sense! Lastly, JKR never explains the “…fly in the ointment… .” But I assume that is referring to Strike’s feelings for Robin, correct? Hope I can get some clarification/feedback here:)

Just a note to say hello and that I thought of you when I almost (ALMOST! but did NOT) read the end of The Orphan Master’s Son when I was about 25% through it. I don’t know – is that too late to jump to the end? Do you have a typical percentage spot when you usually skip to the end? Anyway, I’ve been reading your posts on the iPad and I can’t highlight your spoilery parts which is probably a good thing. I also don’t like to comment with the iPad so do know – I’m a fan of your blog! xoxoxox

In reply to Nishita. Yeah, I know, I thought the fake bio was a bit much. I suppose she wanted to very much redirect attention away from herself...

In reply to Heather. Aw, I don't think you need to be mad at yourself for that! Honestly, it's not a book I'd have picked up either, if it weren't an author I like. I'm not such a huge fan of private eyes.

In reply to Alice. Yep. I agree with all of that. Absolutely no romance whatsoever.

In reply to Sharon. I'm on the other side of mine now, and I'm trying to get back that feeling of excitement about my books. Luckily Marisha Pessl's new one is coming out later this month, so I've got that to look forward to.

In reply to NWK (@MumsyNancy). Hahahah, yeah, I can't imagine how maddening it must have been to have to sit on that information for so long.
