Who let the cat out of J.K. Rowling's bag?

We've recently found out that J.K. Rowling is actually the author behind Robert Galbraith's The Cuckoo's Calling, writing under a pseudonym. Rowling was hoping for anonymity in releasing a book under a pseudonym however, someone at the London law firm Russells Solicitors let the cat out of the bag. Rowling made sure few knew the true identity of Galbraith and was extremely disappointed when finding out it was Russells who leaked the information. The law firm made a statement and apologized, for what it's worth. One of the partners at Russells shared with his wife and her friend the true identity of Galbraith. Rowling was disappointed as even her longest and closest friend didn't know that she was in fact Galbraith. On a happier note, The Cuckoo's Calling is doing great, currently on Amazon's best seller list.
