The Cuckoo''s Calling reminds me why I fell in love with crime

compelling detectives I''ve come across in years Mark Billingham One
of the best crime novels I have ever read Alex Gray Everytime I put
this book down, I looked forward to reading more. Gabraith writes
at a gentle pace, the pages rich with description and with
characters that leap out of them. I loved it. He is a major new

內容簡介:
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.
