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.
##拉瞭好長好長纔突然間真相大白然後又瞬間結束,讓人一時不能相信。
評分##感覺很差勁,情節也一般,拖遝冗長,難怪開頭就賣幾百本,直到亮齣作者的字號太開始熱銷。
評分##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##阿姨你用詞真的太難瞭好嘛。Robin and Strike纔是真正的看點所在。
評分##羅琳阿姨太壞瞭,我當時看瞭還去找瞭Robert Galbraith的資料,心想“這位作者不錯喔,竟然隻齣過這一本書啊”,結果,竟然是阿姨的化名!!!

評分##總的來說不錯,情節設置還是花瞭一定的心思,最後的揭秘過程節奏很好。與之相對的就是前麵百分之七十相當緩慢,有明顯可以精簡的地方。我對於兩點持保留意見,其一是用瞭大量心理描寫的方式來描寫心理(就是OS太多),給人一種作者一定要親自把人物的方方麵麵交代清楚的感覺(不知道是不是之前被太多同人給刺激瞭), 後遺癥就是人物顯得沒太多餘地。我並不希望在係列書的第一本裏就把主角童年陰影愛情糾葛中年危機都瞭解得一清二楚啊。再加上每到一個場景就必有的大段靜物描摹,拖慢瞭作為偵探小說應有的節奏。其二,就是我對凶手搬起石頭砸自己腳的初衷實在無法理解,作者解釋瞭那麼多我還是覺得無法理解。當然,你可以用ta是一個神經病這種萬能解釋…
評分##ab 羅琳大媽披瞭個馬甲齣的偵探小說,大媽太囉嗦瞭,嘮嘮叨叨的,一點也吸引人。看樣子大媽是個愛看八卦的人。凶手從小就是個怪胎。我怎麼覺得偵探大人和他的那個臨時雇傭的秘書之間有點曖昧啊
