THE HALLMARKED MAN

Detectives Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott take on a new case from a wealthy client who thinks her boyfriend has been killed because he disappears from her and her newborn baby's lives. Narrator Robert Glenister engages listeners in this 30-plus-hour audiobook with a remarkable performance and a strong vocal mastery of its multitude of characters. Glenister makes believable Strike's true feelings for Robin, but, as usual, he can never bring himself to share them with her. Glenister's vocal craftsmanship creates drama, humor, and romance, making Strike and Robin a believable pair. Their tantalizing mutual attraction intertwined with the complicated murder plot they uncover creates a captivating listen for fans of Galbraith's (aka J.K. Rowling's) sometimes frustrating--but always outstanding--mystery series. E.E.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2025]
