The Cuckoo's Calling is a 2013 crime fiction novel by J. K. Rowling, published under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. A brilliant mystery in a classic vein: Detective Cormoran Strike investigates a supermodel's suicide. After losing his leg to a land mine in Afghanistan, Cormoran Strike is barely scraping by as a private investigator. Strike is down to one client, and creditors are calling. He has also just broken up with his longtime girlfriend and is living in his office. Then John Bristow walks through his door with an amazing story: His sister, thelegendary supermodel Lula Landry, known to her friends as the Cuckoo, famously fell to her death a few months earlier. The police ruled it a suicide, but John refuses to believe that. The case plunges Strike into the world of multimillionaire beauties, rock-star boyfriends, and desperate designers, and it introduces him to every variety of pleasure, enticement, seduction, and delusion known to man. You may think you know detectives, but you've never met one quite like Strike. You may think you know about the wealthy and famous, but you've never seen them under an investigation like this.


Reviews I'm going to break the streak of praise here. The novel is well written (from a distant, omniscient point of view, which is not my favorite) and the characters are actually interesting. I'd have liked to get to know them better and closer but the style precludes that. The novel is so, so slow (and long) without much happening. Properly edited, it could have been a much better novel. There was so much "blah, filler" dialogue that I skimmed page after page. Bottom line, I didn't care about most of the characters, the case, the murder, etc. To be fair, I'm not a fan of "noir" type mysteries. I do wonder about all the hype (and since the author is a pseudonym, I also wonder if he has major connections which account for the hype.). ================================================== Anyone who likes mysteries will enjoy this book. J. k Rowling writes a great story with enough twists and turns to keep the reader guessing and wonderful, imperfect heroes who use their wits and intelligence to solve the mystery.
