After losing his leg to a land mine in Afghanistan, Cormoran Strike is barely scraping by as a private investigator. Then John Bristow walks through his door with an amazing story: His sister, the legendary supermodel Lula Landry, famously fell to her death a few months earlier. The police ruled it a suicide, but John refuses to believe that. This thrilling story follows private detective Cormoran Strike and his new secretary Robin as they investigate the suspicious case.
How can anyone write a book so good? That was the question I repeatedly asked myself while reading The Cuckoo's Calling. The plot was amazing, the characters were really deep, and the plot twists were stunning. Even though it was a bit slow paced at times, it was always good to read because of the incredible way the author told the story. I was so excited when I heard that J.K. Rowling had written a mystery series, one of my favorite authors and genres combined in one book. I recommend this book to everyone who loves a good detective story :)
