Book Description
When a mysterious package is delivered to Robin Ellacott, she is horrified to discover that it contains a woman's severed leg.

Her boss, private detective Cormoran Strike, is less surprised but no less alarmed. There are four people from his past who he thinks could be responsible--and Strike knows that any one of them is capable of sustained and unspeakable brutality.

With the police focusing on the one suspect Strike is increasingly sure is not the perpetrator, he and Robin take matters into their own hands, and delve into the dark and twisted worlds of the other three men. But as more horrendous acts occur, time is running out for the two of them...

My Review
I enjoy this series very much but was a bit disappointed with the gore of the crimes in this one. I also think the book could have been a bit shorter. The bad guys were hard to keep track of because their personalities were too similar. Other than that, I find the Strike/Robin/Matthew storyline very entertaining and I look forward to see where these relationship go in the future books. I would recommend this book as long as you can handle reading about gore (severed limbs, serial murder) and sexual assault.
