The Book:

Cormoron Strike is a down on his luck private investigator, attempting to hide all this from his new and enthusiastic temp. When the brother of a famous model walks in, insisting that his sister was murdered, Strike throws himself into the case.

What I Liked:

This is such a good book! It reads like a classic private detective book, with seedy characters, a brilliant detective with a troubled past, and twists and turns galore

The ending completely shocked me, which is always a bonus.

The book didn't lag at all either, which is impressive considering its length.

Anything I Didn't Like?

There really isn't anything not to like about this book-it's a great, fun, read.

So...?

I would definitely recommend this book. It flies by for being over 400 pages, and will keep you engaged and guessing the whole time. I already have the next book in the series and can't wait to get started on it!
