Troubled Blood

Sin duda alguna Sangre turbia es el mejor de la serie de Strike y Robin. En mi opinión creo que la trama ha sido la más compleja y/o complicada hasta ahora pero eso no quiere decir que se vuelve pesada porque mientras más te vas adentrando en el misterio más quieres leer, no cae en pasajes lentos o de "relleno". Cada página, cada pista tiene un objetivo que te lleva a entenderlo todo al final. JK se supera en cada entrega de los detectives.

Creo que lo que más me ha gustado es que es en este libro donde se ve más el crecimiento de Cormoran. Hemos visto el crecimiento de Robin desde el primer libro y han sido mis partes favoritas de la serie, sin embargo con Strike la cosa iba poco a poco. En Sangre turbia podemos ver a un Strike más humano, algo que hemos visto en libros anteriores pero que en este se acentúa muchísimo más. Y es justamente es en esas partes donde más he llorado.

Tiene mucho de todo este libro, me ha puesto sensible, ansioso, feliz, triste. Ha sido una montaña rusa de emociones y me ha encantado de principio a fin.

Without a doubt, Troubled Blood is the best of the Strike and Robin series. The plot has been the most complex and complicated so far but that doesn't mean that it becomes heavy because the more you go into the mystery the more you want to read, it doesn't fall into slow passages or "filler". Each page, each clue has a reason that leads you to understand everything at the end. JK exceeds herself in each installment of the detectives.

What I liked the most is that it is in this book where Cormoran's growth is most seen. We have seen Robin's growth since the first book and they have been my favorite parts of the series, however with Strike things went slowly. In Troubled Blood we can see a more human Strike, something that we have seen in previous books but in this one it's actually visible. And it is precisely in those parts where I have cried.

This book has made me sensitive, anxious, happy, sad. It has been a roller coaster of emotions and I have loved it from beginning to end.

I don't often get so hooked on series, but J.K. Rowling knows how to write a story! As usual, Robin and Strike are juggling several cases, with one of said cases being the book's main focus. The characters and their peccadillos are fascinating, and there are plenty of twists and turns. Then, of course, there is the relationship between Robin and Strike, which is particularly engaging.

The character personalities were a bit bland but I pushed through. The hype and anger over people screeching about the killer being trans: He's just a psycho that likes to cross dress. A dude with mental issues that moonlights as a murderer. Think buffalo bob. The focus wasn't on him wearing a dress but his crimes. It's just hype.

The plot itself while dragging at many points still was interesting enough to keep me reading. The devices and twists were worth the time, tho at almost 1000 pages it really felt like a LOT of filler. Easily could have out about 1/3 of the book and still not miss it. Read worthy for the plot devices.
