Product Information

'THE CUCKOO'S CALLING reminds me why I fell in love with crime fiction in the first place' VAL MCDERMID ----- Now a major BBC drama: THE STRIKE series 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 the acclaimed first crime novel by J.K. Rowling, writing under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. *** The latest book in the thrilling Strike series, LETHAL WHITE is out now! *** ----- PRAISE FOR THE STRIKE SERIES: 'One of the most unique and compelling detectives I've come across in years' MARK BILLINGHAM 'The work of a master storyteller' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Unputdownable. . . Irresistible' SUNDAY TIMES 'Will keep you up all night' OBSERVER 'A thoroughly enjoyable classic' PETER JAMES, SUNDAY EXPRESS

    Good Reading

    Excellent books. Author is such a good story teller and the characters are very colourful and believable. The books are rather long but they are such page turners that they do not seem so. The deal of 4 books was really good value and the books are in good condition.

  • Most critical review

    Bit boring

    The author writes in a turgid way, overlong descriptions and other "pad-filling". Frustrates me - get to the point darlink, cut to the quick and reduce the number of ages, save some trees.
