THE CUCKOO'S CALLING:ROBERT GALBRAITH

THE CUCKOO'S CALLING:ROBERT GALBRAITH

 

A model falls to her death from a snow-covered Mayfair balcony. Everyone thinks it is suicide - a case that needs to be shut. The brother is doubtful. Enters private detective Cormoron Strike, with his own haunting past, wanting to solve the crime at any cost. This in short is the plot of The Cuckoos Calling written by J. K. Rowling under the pseudonym of Robert Galbraith.

The literary world has been going crazy with the revelation of the writer. Despite that and more so probably beyond that, the book is stupendously written. Strike makes for a great detective almost as good as Poirot or Maigret. The pages just keep turning with this one and the reader will not realize when the book is over. The Cuckoos Calling is ace-crime fiction. It doesnt relent and doesnt get boring at any given time. The book is one great treat to sink into this fall.

Description

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 a classic crime novel in the tradition of P. D. James and Ruth Rendell and marks the beginning of a unique series of mysteries.(Official Flipkart Review)
