Our view
“Lethal White” is the fourth Cormoran Strike novel, a long detective story whose characters matter as much as its murder. Some readers, including people who seldom pick up crime fiction, call it the strongest so far and praise its quiet political and social observation. At over six hundred and fifty pages it is a commitment, and best met after the first three volumes.
