It was no doubt gripping. But there were way too many characters without much of
character development, so it was hard for me to remember. And the ending was
sort of rushed. Still I enjoyed most of it, so four stars.
The eighth book sees Strike and Robin take the case of identifying a dismembered corpse discovered in the vault of a silver shop. The police initially believe it to be that of a convicted armed robber – but not everyone agrees with that theory… A gripping, wonderfully complex novel which takes Strike and Robin’s story to a new level, The Hallmarked Man is an unmissable read for any fan of this unique series.
