Strike: Career of Evil came to its conclusion tonight, with Cormoran Strike (Tom Burke) in the frame for the murder of a teenage girl, Kelsey Platt.
Tonight, it was revealed that the real culprit was Donald Laing (Neil Maskell), a military man who Cormoran had sent down for abusing his wife.
At first it appeared that Cormoran had reached a dead end, as he believed Donald to be "crippled", a twist was soon revealed.

It turned out that Laing was the culprit after all, having come up with a complex plan to get his revenge by faking illness and posing as 'Ray Williams'.
Viewers were a little confused by the plot twist - and by what was going on in the episode in general:
While all this was going on, Robin Ellacott (Holliday Grainger) was getting set to marry her boyfriend Matthew Cunliffe (Kerr Logan).

A lot of fans had strong feelings about whether Strike and Robin should get together instead:
Unfortunately, Robin ended up tying the knot with Matthew, but it remains to be seen whether the marriage will last.
Now we just need the author of the books, JK Rowling Robert Galbraith, to write more in the series...
