Author Owen Quine loved the spotlight and was known for his graphic books. But, when his latest books angers practically the entire publishing world, he turns up missing. His wife hires Detective Cormoran Strike to find him, thinking the eccentric writer is off at a writer's retreat. But, what starts as simple missing person case turns into a high profile murder case when Strike finds Quine brutally murdered in a manner reminiscent of one of his books. With so many people who hated the victim, this is no easy case.
This book once again proves that JK Rowling can write a completely different genre well (although I still prefer the Potter series). Both Cormoran Strike and his assistant, Robin, are complex and fascinating characters. I enjoyed seeing Robin play a more active role in the investigation this time. As for the mystery, I was in suspense to the very end.
