When frantic, dishevelled Edie Ledwell appears in the office begging to speak to her, private detective Robin Ellacott doesn't know quite what to make of the situation. The co-creator of a popular cartoon, The Ink Black Heart, Edie is being persecuted by a mysterious online figure who goes by the pseudonym of Anomie.

Brilliant!
Another brilliant, superior mystery from Robert Galbraith. Beautifully read by the marvellous Robert Glenister. Gripping from beginning to end. It could do with a bit of editing of the descriptions of conversations on social media. The reading out of people's taglines again and again got tedious.
