This is one of the best mysteries I've read in a v-e-r-y long time. This left me guessing, I suspected almost every character. I stayed up half the night listening to this book, I just couldn't stop.

Cormoran Strike is the war hero, down on his luck, private detective. Robin Ellacott is his temp-agency assistant who proves with her quick wit and cleverness that she can hold her own. I loved watching their working relationship develop.

I don't want to say too much about it because I don't want to spoil it. But it's a modern take on a classic mystery. And I loved it!

Even though there is a ton of hype surrounding this book because of JK Rowling's pseudonym was discovered, this book is beyond the hype. The book is great.
