***LETHAL WHITE* IS THE FOURTH BOOK IN THE CORMORAN STRIKE SERIES FROM THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR ROBERT GALBRAITH.**

"I seen a kid killed...He strangled it, up by the horse."

When Billy, a troubled young man, comes to private eye Cormoran Strike's office to ask for his help investigating a crime he thinks he witnessed as a child, Strike is left deeply unsettled. While Billy is obviously mentally distressed, and cann remember many concrete details, there is something sincere about him and his story. But before Strike can question him further, Billy bolts from his office in a panic.

Trying to get to the bottom of Billy's story, Strike and Robin Ellacott--once his assistant, now a partner in the agency--set off on a twisting trail that leads them through the backstreets of London, into a secretive inner sanctum within Parliament, and to a beautiful but sinister manor house deep in the countryside.

And during this labyrinthine investigation, Strike's own life is far from straightforward: his newfound fame as a private eye means he can no longer operate behind the scenes as he once did. Plus, his relationship with his former assistant is more fraught than it ever has been--Robin is now invaluable to Strike in the business, but their personal relationship is much, much trickier than that.

The most epic Robert Galbraith novel yet, *Lethal White* is both a gripping mystery and a page-turning next installment in the ongoing story of Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott.

This description comes from the publisher. *Lethal White* is the fourth book in the Cormoran Strike series, the first of which is *The Cuckoo's Calling*.

Not fair to rate it since I took so long to read it. But I eagerly await the next installment.

These books are always so entertaining. I thought I'd figured it out multiple times, and even in the reveal I wasn't sure if I'd guessed right or not. Good mystery, if maybe overly complicated criminal.
