Classic Mystery with Caveats
Revisado: 04-06-15
Be prepared for a very heavy handed dose of Objectivism - Cyrus Skeen, East Coast scion, is playing at being a private eye based in San Francisco until he is ostensibly called back to run the family firm. What we have here is Hammett without the humor. I skipped the Ayn Rand spoon feeding and found an okay mystery. Though it's rather easy to guess.
The narrator suffers from bad direction and is not as polished as he could be.
Why did I continue to listen? It's kind of like a "Real Housewives" episode ... how bad is the wreck gonna be?

After losing his leg to a land mine in Afghanistan, Cormoran Strike is barely scraping by as a private investigator. Strike is down to one client, creditors are calling, and after a breakup with his longtime girlfriend, he’s living in his office. Then John Bristow walks through his door with a shocking story: His sister, the legendary supermodel Lula Landry - known to her friends as the Cuckoo - famously fell to her death a few months earlier.
