When a troubled model falls to her death from a Mayfair balcony, it is assumed that she had committed suicide. However, her brother has his doubts and calls in a private detective. Cormoran Strike to investigate. Strike is a war veteran - wounded both physically and psychologically - and his private 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 world, the darker things become and the closer he gets to terrible danger...

This is the first book in the Cormoran Strike series. I originally took it out as a library book and it is now three years since I read it so I can't give an in depth review. However, I have since read the next two books and am eagerly awaiting book four. It was meant to be out in March but has been delayed. I don't often wait for a book being published, in fact this might be the first time, so I hope that is a good enough review.

Adding to my 10th Bookiversary bookbox.
