The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith is a whodunit story of a famous, beautiful model who plunges to her death from her penthouse. Is it murder? Suicide? Her brother, believing it to be murder, hires private detective Cormoran Strike. Strike is a character with an entertaining, enigmatic story of his own, adding a nice dimension to the storytelling by Galbraith aka J.K. Rowling. And just like in the Harry Potter series, each character that joins Strike in this story is lively, well written, and can hold his or her own. There is something formulaic about the mystery in this story but Galbraith does such a great job with the character development that you find yourself unable to walk away. SG
