Cormoran Strike has most assuredly seen better days. His fiancée, the beautiful, wealthy Charlotte, has broken it off with him yet again. He is struggling financially, currently living at his office, having few clients - those who refuse to pay and others who threaten his life. He encounters John Bristow, a paying client, and Robin, a secretary from Temporary Solutions, on the same day Charlotte calls it quits and attacks him. Bristow wants Strike to investigate his adoptive sister's supposed suicide. Was superstar Lula Landry thrown off her balcony? This captivating who-done-it is a compelling read, much much better than Casual Vacancy. It's been rumored that perhaps that this is the first in a series featuring Strike and Robin. One can only hope.
