JK Rowling has come under fire over her new book, Troubled Blood, which features a cross-dressing serial killer. It comes just a few months after the Harry Potter author was accused of making anti-trans comments on Twitter.
Rowling, 55, is set to release Troubled Blood under her alter-ego Robert Galbraith on September 15. The novel follows Private Detective Cormoran Strike as he tries to solve the disappearance of a woman in Cornwall in 1974, only to come up against a psychopathic serial killer.
However, the murderous character has received particular criticism for disguising himself in women’s clothing to commit his horrific crimes.
