Good book! Wondered if the author of the Harry Potter series could switch genres. Well done. There are a few flaws but I shall not dwell on them. Like the hero, Cormoran Strike, very muh - a down and out PI whose father is famous performer. Independent, careful, detail oriented and thorough. When a woman falls from her apartment to her death, her brother doesn't believe it was suicide and hires Strike to investigate her death. I did figure out who the murderer must be but it did not change my opinion of this writer's work in a new genre. I will look for the second in this series.
