J.K. Rowling, writing as Robert Galbraith, introduces an interesting new character. Cormoran Strike is a former military policeman who lost a leg serving in Afghanistan. Now he's a struggling private detective who has just been paid a large advance to investigate the suicide of super model Lula Landry. Rowling takes her time introducing and giving the back story of each new character Cormoran meets during his investigation. The mystery behind Lula's death is almost an afterthought. I hope this is the first of a new series of novels by J. K. Rowling. 464 pages.
