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.
##羅琳阿姨的巔峰也就在哈利波特瞭。幸好她還有個賣的瞭錢的名字。書最後的作者簡介可真能編啊...
評分##真的是意外驚喜特彆喜歡。推理很隨便最後凶手揭示是大弱點。但是羅琳真的是會講故事,各種細節描寫特彆好,寫人物/圈子更是一流。故事上感覺一定和Leveson Inquiry脫不瞭乾係,她自己也齣過庭。馬上去看第二本。Strike和波洛,Shardlake一個脈絡。
評分##最後凶手略狗血,前麵鋪墊太多瞭,一看就是個女人寫的= =。
評分##偵探君真是不打算改行去做記者?助手明顯更懂查案的感覺,綫索鋪那麼開都是絮絮叨叨,羅琳姨營銷比書好,不過感覺拍個迷你劇倒應該不錯
評分##實在太扯瞭。看到一半我想“凶手不會是這個人吧,那也太牽強瞭”,果然就是這個人。= =而且推理小說最忌諱的就是拋齣無數綫索然後一個都沒收迴來啊。
評分##失眠,然後看完瞭。
評分##平鋪直敘的英式推理很久不見 羅琳阿姨文筆見長人物刻畫功力一流 推理本身邏輯不夠縝密 still a good read
