After losing his leg to a land mine in Afghanistan, Cormoran Strike is barely scraping by as a private investigator. Then John Bristow walks through his door with an amazing story: His sister, the legendary supermodel Lula Landry, famously fell to her death a few months earlier. The police ruled it a suicide, but John refuses to believe that. The case plunges Strike into the world of multimillionaire beauties, rock-star boyfriends, and desperate designers, and it introduces him to every variety of pleasure, enticement, seduction, and delusion known to man.
This book caught my attention because it was by J.K Rowling, the author of the famous Harry Potter series, but under a different name. I really liked the premise of this book and the character development and I had no idea who the killer was until revealed and the way he figured it out. The downside to this book is the language. I was so tired of all the F-bombs dropped that I almost stopped partway through the book because it was unavoidable. But if the mystery hadn't been so good I would have. So if you don't mind the language, then this is a book for you. I gave it 3 stars on Goodreads because of the language itself.
