This is the second Cormoran Strike novel by Robert Galbraith aka J. K. Rowling. As with the first it is a very competent, thoroughly enjoyable detective novel of the traditional variety. The plot is convoluted and is set in the world of publishing, involving the death of a rather nasty author. While there is nothing particularly original, with good characters and an intriguing murder, this is one for the summer break.
