In The Cuckoo’s Calling, Tansy Bestigui is the woman living in a flat below Lula Landry’s who claimed to have heard an argument between Lula and a man shortly before watching her fall to her death.

Tansy first meets Cormoran in the fancy restaurant Cipriani, accompanied by her sister Ursula May and Strike’s client, John Bristow. Here, Strike interviews Tansy.

Tansy Bestigui, the possible witness for Strike’s case, is being played by the actress Tara Fitzgerald. 

You may recognise Tara from the popular television show Game of Thrones, or you might know her from the BBC series The Musketeers, in which she starred alongside none other than Tom Burke himself.
