The Hallmarked Man

A terrific and tightly plotted romp … With an apparent effortlessness that speaks of great discipline and skill, Galbraith keeps the plates of all four possible murder inquiries spinning, each one replete with its own satisfyingly unexpected feints and twists … A triumph of storytelling – GUARDIANThese Galbraith novels are remarkable, the management of a variety of themes and stories extraordinary. Indeed, I would rather read Galbraith than any other crime writer now active. These are books you can happily lose yourself in. – The ScotsmanCancel all your plans […] combines a fiendish mystery with the deliciously tangled will they/won’t they romantic lives of private investigators Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott. […] It’s so good to have them back. – HEATGalbraith has created a world that the reader wants to spend time in and I’m just as invested in the characters as I am the mysteries. Strike and Robin are two of the most compelling characters in contemporary fiction and I really hope we’ve got lots more books to come. ‘The Hallmarked Man’ is dark, twisty and endlessly addictive, and it’s one of the strongest books in the Strike series so far.’ – ENTERTAINMENT FOCUS
