The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith

Robert Galbraith is the pseudonym for J. K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series.  This is a mystery, centering around detective Cormoran Strike.  Rowling has since written a second Strike mystery, The Silkworm.

In this book, a famous model dies by plunging from her apartment balcony.  Police call it a suicide.  However, her brother John Bristow thinks otherwise.  He hires Strike to investigate.  This takes Strike into the world of models and celebrity to find the truth behind the death of Lula Landry.

This is a breezy summer read.  At least now I can say I have read a book by J. K. Rowling.
