Lethal White by Robert Galbraith
The books by JK Rowling as Robert Galbraith keep getting better. This one conveys us from Camden Lock and Little Venice to Westminster Palace and Newbury Racecourse, following a variety of well-drawn characters. The cast includes spoiled rich people, angry political protesters, predators in three-piece suits, and penniless chancers. Great to watch the flawed Cormoran Strike and his intrepid sleuthing partner Robin Ellacott evolve and tackle their personal challenges. And I learned that lethal white is not a drug, but a rare equine genetic defect.
