When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective Cormoran Strike. At first, Mrs. Quine just thinks her husband has gone off by himself for a few days--as he has done before--and she wants Strike to find him and bring him home. But as Strike investigates, it becomes clear that there is more to Quine's disappearance than his wife realizes. The novelist has just completed a manuscript featuring poisonous pen-portraits of almost everyone he knows. If the novel were to be published, it would ruin lives--meaning that there are a lot of people who might want him silenced. When Quine is found brutally murdered under bizarre circumstances, it becomes a race against time to understand the motivation of a ruthless killer, a killer unlike any Strike has encountered before.

This was a most delightful "Who Done It" that I have read in a long time. The author is known to me but a very different style of writing. Do read!

Excellent!
I loved the first Cormoran Strike novel by Galbraith, aka J.K.Rowling, The Cuckoo's Calling. This second book in the series let me down a little, although the characters are still enjoyable and the story fascinating. My complaints are it took a little too long to get to the actual crime and the ending is highly staged and implausible--not an unknown ending to mysteries, but still a bit of a disappointment. Nevertheless, it's good and I will be looking for the third book.
