I admit I don't think I would have picked this up unless someone else had recommended it to me before I found out the real writer. I like mysteries and I did like her previous book so I picked it up and gave it a shot. I have to say I really enjoyed this one much more than Casual Vacancy. Until almost the end you are not sure of who the murderer is and that is nice. I will be picking up the second book when it does come out and I would have done that even if the pen name hadn't been revealed. Cormoran is a likable detective even if his personal life is a bit of a wreck during the book.
