Just as Robin is hired, John Bristow hires Strike to investigate the death of his sister Lulu Landry, a supermodel whom supposedly committed suicide 3 months earlier. Strike is reluctant to take the case as he police have already determined the case suicide not homicide. But as time goes on Strike is glad he took the case, and has a chance to catch up he killer, not without invaluable help from Robin.
This was an amazing novel, it kept me engaged and enthralled. I read this over three days on vacation, every spare moment was devoted to this story. The writing was wonderful, more grown up than Harry Potter, but still such a easy read that really attests to Rowling's writing style. And unlike most mysteries, I was wrong, I had the wrong person pegged for the killer, and was truthfully shocked not only by who but why. Rowling really pulled a fast one on me.
