Robert Galbraith, AKA J.K. Rowling, has not made a smooth transition to adult fiction. I borrowed this book after reading other reviews, and even though I suspect that I will be in the minority, I found it tedious, much too long, and seriously lacking a good plot/narrative. It may be that I judged this book as an acquisitions editor (my profession), but apart from enjoying reading about some of the likeable characters, I found it tough going. Superfluous dialogue, seriously pretentious writing, and the quotations heading each chapter often had nothing to do with the narrative that followed.
