Now a major BBC drama: The Strike series.

When a troubled model falls to her death from a snow-covered Mayfair balcony, it is assumed that she has committed suicide. However, her brother has his doubts, and calls in private investigator Cormoran Strike to look into the case.

Strike is a war veteran - wounded both physically and psychologically - and his life is in disarray. The case gives him a financial lifeline, but it comes at a personal cost: the more he delves into the young model's complex world, the darker things get - and the closer he gets to terrible danger....

A gripping, elegant mystery steeped in the atmosphere of London - from the hushed streets of Mayfair to the backstreet pubs of the East End to the bustle of Soho - The Cuckoo's Calling is a remarkable audiobook. Introducing Cormoran Strike, this is the acclaimed first crime novel by J.K. Rowling, writing under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.

Wonderful characters and plot

23 August 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is the first Cormoran Strike novel I have read. I quickly followed it by another because I enjoyed it so much. Tearful, unattractive and priviledged young man appeals to Cormoron to solve the mystery of the assumed suicide of his much loved and beautiful adopted sister. Although there were many characters and suspects, the final expose was a complete surprise in spite of clues offered throughout. What I really loved about the book were the characters. They were depicted in a very efficient and 'true' manner. Sometimes I found it confusing because Galbraith tends to assume the reader knows London as well as he. I felt I needed a map a great deal of the time. Cormoran Strike, the one legged private detective and his offsider, Robin, the female "temp" secretary he is assigned are wonderful together making a very balanced and amusing 'strictly business only' couple. I would recommend this book to anybody who enjoys a well rounded 'who dunit' that has impeccable plot lines and great characters.

A fabulous ride with endearing characters. A finely crafted and riveting read - I couldn't put this lovely book down. The story line was delicately woven and tantalizingly unfolded, culminating deliciously. Loved it.

A tense and thrilling story of deceit, and revenge. I couldn't put it down it was such a thrilling read. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

Nothing new but lots of fun

A little predicable, but lots of fun and very well written. The relationship between Cormoran and Robin was key. I'll definitely pick up the second in the series.

Not my favourite book. Although I can't put my finger on the reason why, I found it slightly irritating … I read a couple of other books, coming back to Cuckoos from time to time - I'm not a believer of completely discarding a book once started - ie, unless it's truly appalling, and by no means was this book appalling … just not my cup of tea. I doubt I'll be purchasing any more books by this author.

Engaging British Detective

2 November 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is an engaging British detective and with a brilliant depiction of London life. It combines a complex and compelling sleuth and an equally unlikely assistant that provides some humorous situations. However I did find the regular reference to the detective's war handicap, a little over-bearing at times. There are many twist and distractions to ensure readers will be puzzled.

Easy reading and hard to put down. Most importantly it wasn't American whereby the hero is over the top tough, clever, good looking & indestructible. This tough hero was clever but simply got lucky with his super model & lost the love of his life, whilst having a handicap and problems. There was also a woman hero that was not caste as a male female but was extremely intelligent, efficient and inventive feminine figure who is NOT yearning for the hero, etc.
VERY REFRESHING!

Would recommend to anyone
