About this listen
An unsettling cold case investigation ensnares Cormoran Strike and his partner in a web of dangerous secrets in this #1 New York Times bestseller, the inspiration for HBO Max's acclaimed series C.B. Strike.
When a troubled young man named Billy asks Cormoran Strike to help him investigate a crime he witnessed as a child, the private eye is left deeply troubled. While Billy is obviously mentally distressed and cannot 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 “addictive, murderous fun” for British mystery lovers and crime fiction fans alike (Vox).

Story
When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early 40s, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils.... Pagford is not what it at first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town's council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen.

The Quaker has killed another victim, snatching a young woman from a nightclub and dumping her body like trash in the back of a cold-water tenement. He leaves no clues, and the investigation has led police down one blind alley after another.

What the critics say
"[Narrator] Robert Glenister has peopled Strike's world with a huge cast that is convincing, horrifying, and funny. Here, as Strike and his partner, Robin, sort out the murder of Britain's awful culture minister, Jasper Chiswell (pronounced 'chisel'), the many greedy, snobbish, cruel faces of evil are human, but the plot and performance are pure magic." (AudioFile)
"Rowling's wizardry as a writer is on fulsome display in Lethal White (3.5/4 stars), a behemoth of a novel that flies by in a flash. This is a crime series deeply rooted in the real world, where brutality and ugliness are leavened by the oh-so-human flaws and virtues of Galbraith's irresistible hero and heroine."—USA Today
"At times you might feel as you did when reading the Harry Potter books, particularly later in the series, when they got longer and looser. You love the plot, and you love being in the company of the characters, and you admire the author's voice and insights and ingenuity, and you relish the chance to relax into a book without feeling rushed or puzzled or shortchanged.... Long live the fertile imagination and prodigious output of J.K. Rowling."—The New York Times
"If you love the intricate, character-driven mysteries written by Tana French and Kate Atkinson, then chances are good that you'll enjoy the ones by Robert Galbraith. . . . Robert Galbraith knows how to tell a story every bit as deftly as does J.K. Rowling. Cormoran Strike, who lost a leg in Afghanistan, may limp painfully through much of the book, but the tale being told never misses a step."—Joyce Sáenz Harris, Dallas Morning News

Outstanding audible book
This is the fourth book I have listened to in the Strike Series. Although I didn’t actually love the storyline in this book as much as the first three, I still enjoyed listening to it because the performance of the narrator is fantastic and the characters are so strong from the previous books. I am going to start the fifth book right away. Start with the first book of the series and if you’re like me, you’ll get hooked. Highly recommend.

Good book...except for the female lead
I had this book saved in my audible for a while and only now got around to listening to it. This is my first C strike book and I have to say I enjoyed the book for the most part. The narration was great and the general plot was good, however, I like a strong female lead and did not get that in this book. I guess I missed a lot of stuff in the past books that would explain Robin’s character, but from what I read, most of the stuff that happened to her in the past books were also as a result of bad judgement on her part and in this book her character annoyed me. I thought that for who started studying psychology and claimed she always wanted to be a cop, she was very weak. She’s been brutally attacked in the past and is having panic attacks whenever she thinks someone is behind her but yet can’t see the benefit of therapy or SELF DEFENCE training?? I would have understood, not really, but kinda, if this book was actually written by a male, but finding out it was written by JK made me sad that she couldn’t write a stronger female character.
Also, I know that women stay in marriages because of kids, or family obligations but to find this female lead had no such reasons and suffers from the same poor judgement in both her business and personal life made me so sad and is a deterrent for reading future books.
I would recommend this book for the story. Reviews may speak of the sexual tension, I felt both lead characters cared for each other, but a hug at her wedding, an accidental peck and a few notes about possible jealousy does not translate to sexual tension in my book.

Lethally Great!
20 hours of fantastic narration and writing! I’m in love with both Strike & Robin! I feel like I know their thoughts. This was an excellent story and well worth the time! I’d read/listen again! The only problem—now that I’ve finished this book—what do I read now!?
I highly recommend the series and I’m waiting, somewhat impatiently for the next book in the series!!!
