I read this in one sitting...couldn't put it down.

When Mia's brother is arrested for a murder she's sure he didn't commit, she is determined to find out who really killed the dead stripper. Trouble is, her brother's a SEAL, and neither he nor Grant, her ex, also a SEAL, will tell her anything. Gutsy and determined, Mia transforms herself into a woman none of them will recognize--or so she hopes--going undercover to seek the truth.
This a well-written, suspenseful tale of mystery, murder, and the reality behind the SEAL fantasy. But it's also an exploration of a failed relationship between two people who were too young and naive to make it work the first time around. Now that Mia and Grant have a second chance, I am rooting for them to get it right. But this is only part one of the story! Looking forward to seeing how it all develops!...more
Top-notch. If I hadn't known the novel was written by Rowling, I never would have guessed. It's miles away from the whimsical, if dark, world of MugglTop-notch. If I hadn't known the novel was written by Rowling, I never would have guessed. It's miles away from the whimsical, if dark, world of Muggles and Wizards & Witches. Strike's world is contemporary rich-folks London, full of entertainingly foul-mouthed supermodels, designers, rap singers, lawyers and their trophy-husband hunting wives. The novel builds slowly, but during the second half I had trouble putting it down. I loved Strike and his assistant Robin, and was sorry to see the story come to an end.
Rowling certainly proves she can master more than one genre. Highly recommended....more
