What We're Reading--December Edition

Melinda Orebaugh, Director

“This is the third book in the Cormoran Strike series. The mystery begins when Cormoran's assistant and detective-in-training, Robin Ellacott receives the severed leg of an unknown woman in a package delivered to the office. Cormoran and Robin begin their hunt for the killer, but it's hard to know at times who is the hunter and who the hunted. An interesting mystery; unfortunately, it takes Galbraith many more words and many more pages than necessary to reveal the killer, in my opinion.”  Available in the Health Sciences Library.
