She had gone back home and had seemed to accept Matthew’s apology – the wedding was back on. All of this procedural action was intercut with Robin’s own life developments. Why do we know this? Robin was attacked the night in a dark alleyway and her attacker did not match the physical description of Whittaker.Īnd so it continued in this vein – Cormoran and Robin investigating and exploring each suspect. Whittaker was a scumbag, of that there was no doubt, but was he the man behind all this? No. Robin started to snoop around both Whittaker and Brockbank. He and Robin managed to track down one of the suspects – Donald Laing – but once confronted in the hallway of a tower block he seemed like a shambles of a man, so instantly he was out of the picture. A certificate and a photo on the wallShe told him that Kelsey looked up to him. After all, this was the man who could have killed Kelsey, right? Cormoran did the old ‘I’m just going to use your loo’ line, and sneaked into Kelsey’s room, taking photos on his little digital camera of paraphernalia and objects of interest – anything that might spark his imagination. He was greeted by both Kelsey’s sister and what looked like her partner, Ray Williams, who wasn’t best pleased he had called around. It was revealed that Cormoran did indeed know Kelsey Platt and went round to her sister’s place. They both got to work, both investigating leads. So the race was on to find both the murderer and the person who is setting him up. Add that to the CCTV footage showing Strike going to meet her just before she was murdered, and someone is obviously out to get him. A photo emerges of him and the victim, Kelsey Platt, sitting in a coffee shop. Whoever is trying to set Cormoran up is doing a pretty good job. He was being framed for something and taunted from afar. The stakes were upped considerably when a young teen linked to Strike was found murdered. Strike immediately thought of three suspects that could be behind such a personal attack: Noel Brockbank, an ex-major who had been accused of abusing his daughter, Britney, and someone Cormoran had investigated when he was in the army some guy called Donald Laing, and ex-squaddie who had been convicted of abusing his wife and child by Cormoran and sent down and Jeff Whittaker, his mum’s old flame and who had been suspected of pushing her to suicide. So in the final Strike story – for some time, at least – we saw that Robin had been sent a severed leg in the post.
