Glad to see the duo back on the case.

Whilst visiting his dad and stepmother, Cormoran is approached by Anna Phipps, who begs him to investigate the disappearance of her mother, who vanished in the 1970's.

It's been a long time in the making, and because the bar was set so high very on, expectations were high.

It's a book that's been well adapted here I thought, I read and enjoyed the book, I like the way they've translated it. It's an intriguing story, it's engaging and features a very dramatic ending. Good that Cormoran's family life is explored.

It may not be as gripping a story as perhaps The Silkworm, but compared to most stuff on the box right now, it's another level.

Immaculate production values throughout, it looked great, particularly the scenes from the past.

Fionnula Flanagan was terrific as Oonagh, what a brilliant actress, I thought Sophie ward was equally as good.

Good start, 7/10.
