When a mysterious package is delivered to Robin Ellacott, she is horrified to discover that it contains a woman's severed leg.

Her boss, private detective Cormoran Strike, is less surprised but no less alarmed. There are four people from his past who he thinks could be responsible--and Strike knows that any one of them is capable of sustained and unspeakable brutality.

With the police focusing on the one suspect Strike is increasingly sure is not the perpetrator, he and Robin take matters into their own hands, and delve into the dark and twisted worlds of the other three men. But as more horrendous acts occur, time is running out for the two of them...

When will we have the next Cormoran book? Any day that not today is too late! I'm such a fan of Cormoran and Robin, and I will miss them!
Well, now about the book ;) A great story and a great book, and the characters just grow more interesting with each book, it was wonderful to know more about their past in this book.
It was quite difficult to put the book down, but maybe a little more action was needed, and that's why I don't give it the full 5 stars. I also expected a bit more when discovering the culprit, even though the double identity was a surprise. And the ending... It was good, but... [Did Robin really needed to marry that insufferable Matthew?? :-/
