Synopsis/Blurb: When a troubled model falls to her death from a snow-covered Mayfair balcony, it is assumed that she has committed suicide. However, her brother has his doubts, and calls in private investigator Cormoran Strike to look into the case. Strike is a war veteran - wounded both physically and psychologically - and his life is in disarray. The case gives him a financial lifeline, but it comes at a personal cost: the more he delves into the young model's complex world, the darker things get - and the closer he gets to terrible danger . . .
Let's start off with the truth... This brilliant book was written by J K Rowling! One thing I don't understand is why she used a different name as this book is brilliant.
For Valentine's day my fiancé got me a waterstone's voucher and when I saw this was half price I had to get it. J K Rowling writes perfectly it's not to fast or slow it doesn't miss big pieces off of the story line and I couldn't put this down from page one.
This book starts off with the suicide of a model who jumps from her balcony and just like that I was hooked. Through this book you learn about each character slowly. Strike investigates Lula's death with the help of his temporary assistant Robin. Each character has their own story and all of lula's friends and family become a suspect at one time or another. I really enjoyed this book although I didn't get the urge to take it to work and stuff like I have done with other books in the past but when I got home it would be the first thing I picked up.
I think the ending was brilliant and I will be re reading and purchasing the rest of this series. I am very excited for Silkworm to come out in june, but I will probably wait for it to come out in papaerback. This was written in 2nd person as was from both Robins and Strikes point of view at one time.
Have you read this book and enjoy it?
