Publisher Description

'The Cuckoo's Calling reminds me why I fell in love with crime fiction in the first place' VAL MCDERMID

-----

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 book. Introducing Cormoran Strike, this is the acclaimed first crime novel by J.K. Rowling, writing under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.

*** The latest book in the thrilling Strike series, LETHAL WHITE is out now! ***

Tillie Harris ,

Great book -narrator not great at women

Great book- and narrator is good overall, particularly at the main narrative and key characters but not great at reading working class women. His exaggerated cockney female was a real caricature- very difficult to listen to and I had to skip some of those bits.

By ekk, that Ms Rowling is good! Thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. So much so, I’ve just finished it and am about so start again at the beginning again.
Also, One of the best narrators I’ve heard. Beautifully read.
