Argh elk 
Poor you
comtess 
re. just about everything. You're just going to have to accept that Cormoran is just marvellously FAF intuitive and knew that the very anonymous-looking bike bell obvs belonged to Charlie's bike, therefore John must have lobbed Charlie off the edge before removing the bike bell and lobbing the bike after him to 'prove' that he biked off the edge. Then added that to Martin Shaw saying 'nasty' things re. John to Lady What-not's husband re. not adopting, but him saying that he had Lula's best interests at heart from DAY ONE!!!! . Clearly, John in is the habit of bumping people off.
I don't think there were any more plot holes in the series than there were in the book (from my recollection of the latter). The whole thing of hiring Strike to frame someone for a murder that had been written off as a suicide was a bit bonkers to start with - then again, so was the murderer. Whatevs.
What made me quite literally LOL was the comment about "He knew lots of homosexuals - House of Lords ... just because they're queer doesn't mean to say they have poor taste."
Yeah Knope, like you ever did it before? 
In other news, I am now much cheered up from when I first dragged myself into the house, having spent 6 hours at LocalOver-PricedAttraction with 3 very enthusiastic and hyper children 
They had a lovely time, and it was fine, but my god was I knackered by the time I got home....
Madame you'll be fine
In the meantime, I shall decorate with Strike's bedside manner for elk seeing as she is injured, and Strike-on-the-stairs for comtess because it's always entertaining watching her flail and a little something for Those not in TeamB.
