#Strike Cuckoo's Calling

[105nt]

... the fact that he would, quite soon, be free of Robin was an inextricable part of his enjoyment of her presence ...

... from the very first he had told himself: this far and no further ...

... she occupied a unique place in his thoughts and in his affections ...

... he’d called her into the inner office because he wanted her company as long as he could get it ...

Equally spaced Strike on Ellacott quotes.

I love how the book starts with Robin thinking she's going to remember the day all her life because she just got engaged when she's actually on her way to meet Strike.

I picked up the cuckoo's calling a week ago, of course partly because of her opinions now and the knowledge that's impacted the later Strike-books, but honestly it was mostly just on a whim. I am so so happy I did because I'm really enjoying it! Can't put it down! I've read a lot of heavy books lately and it is so nice to have a plot driven, easy, but well written book to enjoy! I was a massive potterkid, but grew a bit out of it in my late teens - but I am intrigued to see how she writes for adults!

"…I think they might be a bit tight on your big hairy mitts. Though Ciara certainly wasn't complaining about them. Oh no, you got quite the five star review, darling. And she's had plenty to compare you with."

Seriously, Ciara Porter? (To be fair, I’d be giggling like an idiot too.)

Listening again and have picked up two more paperbacks. 🥴

One last moment of madness, the space between heartbeats, like the one that had sent him hurtling after her five days previously: he would stay here, after all, waiting for her to return; then cupping her perfect face in his hands and saying ‘Let’s try again.’

But they had already tried, again and again and again, and always, when the first crashing wave of mutual longing subsided, the ugly wreck of the past lay revealed again, its shadow lying darkly over everything they tried to rebuild.

Perfection

We really will have to wait until book 10 for the solution of Leda's suicide / murder will we.

Because of symmetry and everything 😔
