Description

The series begins with Strike on holiday in Cornwall, where he is visiting his family, but he is stunned when a woman asks him to help search for her mother, Margot Bamborough, who disappeared in 1974. Part of the reason we love Robin and Strike is that idea of will they-won’t they," says Grainger. "They’d be so well suited. But there’s more at stake for them if they make the first move now, it becomes harder for it to happen because of the business and their love for each other as partners and friends. There’s so much on the line, it almost seems impossible. They’re destined for one another but if they get together too soon it’d never work because they’ve still got a lot to deal with."

Strike television series, we strongly recommend giving the books a chance. We particularly recommend the audio book versions, as actor Robert Glenister ( Hustle) does an incredible job reading and performing an impressive variety of British accents (not all perfect, but certainly better than most could achieve). Sue Tully is directing. Her credits include Too Close, Strike - Lethal White, Line Of Duty, Tin Star, The A Word and The Musketeers. Hughes, Sarah (13 August 2017).

Strike is in Cornwall, visiting his uncle and terminally ill aunt, when he is retained by an agitated woman with an ancient missing-person case. The new client’s mother, Margot, was a GP in Clerkenwell, London, who left her practice one night in 1974 to meet a friend in a pub, did not arrive, and has not been seen since. Internet sleuths pin the blame on Dennis Creed, a notorious abductor and murderer of women; the detective who investigated at the time appears to have indulged more elaborate theories, to the extent that he lost himself and did not work again. When Robin and Strike hear that Ledwell was murdered in Highgate Cemetery, they find themselves pulled into a case that's well outside their comfort zone. Immersed in online gaming and social media, they find shady characters, misogyny, and danger at every turn. This is very much a character-driven mystery series, with the personal lives of the detectives as important to the story as the primary mystery (particularly in the books). If you prefer the older-style mysteries where characters were just set pieces to serve the plot of the mystery, this may not be to your liking – but if you like an ongoing storyline and some character development, you're likely to enjoy CB Strike (or simply Strike, as it's marketed in the UK).
