🌟 Editor’s Pick — Why It Belongs on Your Shelf

An award-winning cold-case epic with real staying power. In Troubled Blood, Strike is back in Cornwall when he’s asked to investigate the 1974 disappearance of Dr. Margot Bamborough—a mystery that spirals from London clinics to Broadmoor, where a chilling interview with serial killer Dennis Creed becomes a turning point. The case is laced with the original detective’s astrological/tarot clues, giving the investigation a distinctive texture, while King-level misdirection keeps the pages flying across 944 of them. It’s Book 5 in the Cormoran Strike series—fully enjoyable on its own yet richer if you’ve been following the arc—and it took the British Book Award (Crime & Thriller) 2021.
