Lula Landry, is a famous superstar who was murdered by someone who pushed her from the balcony of her apartment. It was John, Lula's brother who did not pleased with the result of the police investigation and decided to hired a private detective to investigate the murder.
Lula's apartment is one of the exclusive apartment in London, the murder scene has no witness other than a drug addict who listens from below the apartment. The police couldn't find any evidence inside the apartment, only a video of a man wearing hoodie who run across the street. So, they decided it was a suicide, Lula got crazy and throw herself out from her balcony in a snowy night.
The private investigator is Cormoran Strike, a crippled man, who just broke up with his girl friend. Strike was an ex Investigator in the Army so he knows how to collect the pieces and put the puzzle in the plate. Helped by his beautiful secretary Robin, they worked together solve the murder.
The story was a group of puzzles, the writer placed the puzzle carefully here and there, slight hints with minor details. Your mind will wander and guessing all through the story. It was a good story, but sometimes I feel the story is dragging sometimes. Maybe this is J.K Rowling style, since this is her first book I read.
I wonder how it will be if it was filmed, since I have watched casual vacancy, and just going to read the book. The movie will be much interesting I suppose, since the story was told in London, I am longing to see the beautiful view of London and also what Cormoran Strike will look like with his crippled feet.
