Let's get this out of the way at the beginning: Lethal White is a whopping great doorstopper of a book. It’s so chunky I feared for my ability to hold it up while reading in bed (my favourite place to read).
At 649 pages it is substantially longer than any of the three preceding books in the Cormoran Strike series and in hardback it is significantly bigger. So there, I have said it. Whether the extra length is justified I will leave until later.
