"When Billy, a troubled young man, comes to private eye Cormoran Strike's office to ask for his help investigating a crime he thinks he witnessed as a child, Strike is left deeply unsettled. While Billy is obviously mentally distressed, and cannot remember many concrete details, there is something sincere about him and his story. But before Strike can question him further, Billy bolts from his office in a panic. Trying to get to the bottom of Billy's story, Strike and Robin Ellacott--once his assistant, now a partner in the agency--set off on a twisting trail that leads them through the backstreets of London, into a secretive inner sanctum within Parliament, and to a beautiful but sinister manor house deep in the countryside. And during this labyrinthine investigation, Strike's own life is far from straightforward: his newfound fame as a private eye means he can no longer operate behind the scenes as he once did. Plus, his relationship with his former assistant is more fraught than it ever has been--Robin is now invaluable to Strike in the business, but their personal relationship is much, much trickier than that."--Amazon.

Cliche but... submitted by bookher on July 14, 2019, 7:36pm This first book of the trilogy by JK Rowlings was so cliche "Male detective with attractive female sidekick" but, none the less, I couldn't put it down and then proceeded to read the other two just as fast. Fast moving plots with action and predictable romantic tension.

Enjoyable submitted by lballard on June 10, 2022, 3:46pm Glad to have another novel with a good deal less of the gross out stuff. It’s well written and witty, and the characters are wonderful.
