Spoiler-free review: This is a highly entertaining read. Strike is a detective with a personality and background I haven't been familiar with--which is to say, he's not very cliche. There are, of course, elements which every crime mystery novel has within them--and the author sticks to those, but adds personality and flair and excitement on their own behalf.It is a pretty good crime mystery debut, and I'm looking forward to reading more about Strike's adventures.P.S Robin was absolutely one of my favorite characters. I love her.
