The Cuckoo's Calling/Robert Galbraith/455 pgs



I had to check this one out after hearing that it was really written by JK Rowling.  I had tried to read her other adult title "The Casual Vacancy" and sad to say I could barely make it through the first couple of chapters.  This one is much better - though not Harry Potter good.  It is the story of a private detective, Cormoran Strike, who is barely holding on. Then he is hired by the brother of a famous model, who is supposed to have committed suicide, and he wants him to prove that she was murdered.  Strike ends up mixing with the rich and famous - nothing like his current life.  It does seem to leave it open to maybe become a series.  If so, I may give it another try.
