Reading The Hallmarked Man

I’m a big fan of the Strike television show (I mean, Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger? I’d watch them reading out the phone book – all the while wondering if they’ll ever kiss). The books make for fun beach reading, full of intricate investigations interspersed with the never-ending “will they/won’t they” of Strike and Robin. At over 250K words, it’s a doorstopper . . .
