In this first of the Cormoran Strike mysteries, the reader meets Cormoran Strike- a private eye who has fallen on hard times- and Robin, the eager new temp that he didn't ask for and can't afford to pay. Already the reader wants to know more about what led them both to this moment, but the action begins without pausing long enough to wonder fully. Strike is approached by the brother of a famous model who committed suicide- only he insists that she was murdered. This one literally kept me wondering until the ultimate "unveiling" scene. The characters are well-formed and interesting, and the story is one that keeps you reading. This is one mystery series that I would be inclined to keep reading.
