Acerca de esta escucha
Published under a pseudonym, J. K. Rowling’s brilliant debut mystery introduces Detective Cormoran Strike as he investigates a supermodel's suicide in “one of the best books of the year” (USA Today).
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. The police ruled it a suicide, but John refuses to believe that. The case plunges Strike into the world of multimillionaire beauties, rock-star boyfriends, and desperate designers, and it introduces him to every variety of pleasure, enticement, seduction, and delusion known to man.
You may think you know detectives, but you've never met one quite like Strike. You may think you know about the wealthy and famous, but you've never seen them under an investigation like this.
Fast-paced and sharply drawn, this dazzling detective novel inspired Strike, the BBC crime drama series that has captivated millions of viewers worldwide.

Editor's Pick
Warning: will cause a fierce attachment to fictional characters and an inability to press pause
"The Cuckoo’s Calling is a masterfully written gritty detective story that hooks you and refuses to let go until its pulse-pounding conclusion. J. K. Rowling (writing under a pseudonym) shows off her literary range in this compelling thriller. The only good thing about finishing this one is the three more equally unpauseable Cormoran Strike thrillers that are ready to listen to and get lost in."

When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early 40s, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils.... Pagford is not what it at first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town's council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen.

Historia
Da romanforfatteren Owen Quine forsvinder, ringer hans kone til privatdetektiven Cormoran Strike. I begyndelsen tror hun blot, at han er stukket af for sig selv et par dage – som han har gjort før – og hun beder Strike om at finde ham og hente ham hjem igen. Efterhånden som Strike efterforsker sagen, bliver det klart, at der ligger mere bag Quines forsvinden, end hans kone tror. Romanforfatteren har netop lagt sidste hånd på et manuskript, der rummer giftige portrætter af stort set alle, han kender.

It was summer in the mountains when five small children vanished from their nursery school picnic. The heat was stifling that day, the tinkle of an ice-cream van in the air.... Three-and-a-half years later, in the dead of winter, the children are returned to their families...one by one. All except for Ivy - the granddaughter of Homicide Detective Kate Wakeland. The other four children say Ivy is dead.

Historia
Marla Lindberg’s memories are crystal clear: of the strange message that lured her years ago to a disused maternity clinic. Of the figure who tried to kill her. The strange whistling cough of the psychopath during the fight to the death. After years of psychotherapy, the highly intelligent young woman has learned that these are all false memories. And on top of that, Marla suffers from face blindness. Her brain plays tricks on her in extreme situations when it tries in vain to recognize people by their faces.

And? It's okay. Not worthy of all the hype, I don't think. It took a long time to hook me into the story, and it only happened, finally, when I became interested in the budding relationship between the one-legged Cormoran Strike and his temporary, allegedly, amanuensis, Robin. Strike is admittedly a compelling character -- his history, his painful disability, his keen mind. But Robin -- here playing this seriously secondary role, comes across as a far more fascinating person. The whole thing reminds me a little of the relationship between Elizabeth George's Tommy Lynley and his side kick, Barbara Havers. In that relationship as in this, there's no question that Barbara Havers has the more interesting role -- she's smarter, more dedicated, has a far more complex life and compelling background. Much more interesting than the endlessly lovesick Lynley, ever pining after his really-not-worth-it Helen. Yet the series clearly belongs to Lynley -- he's the "main" character, even though Barbara is by far the more interesting. I think Strike and Robin are in the same position here -- I'd like to hear more about Robin.
One of the biggest treats of the book was Robert Glenister's narration, which was absolutely superb. There were a lot of diverse and odd characters in this book -- the gay designer "Guy", the street people, cops, the rock stars, their families, the whole range of black characters -- and Glenister made each of them come alive. Listening, I think I could sit down and draw a picture of each of them -- even though no such detailed descriptions were written in. Glenister just did a magnificent job of interpreting each of them, male and female. I will most definitely be looking for more books that he's narrating.
So the main question is, will I also look for a second book by "Robert Galbraith"? Good question. Maybe. But there are many, many series l like much better. A second "Strike" book wouldn't be my first choice of reading material. .
Three-plus stars, actually. Not quite four.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Robert Galbraith, nom de plume of J.K. Rowling weaves a delicious tale of intrigue for anyone who loves to indulge in a good mystery. The characters are revealed slowly, the plot throws enough curves to keep you guessing "whodunit" and the writing style, is second-to-none. All that being said, there is an excessive amount of profanity in this story. I understand that it was included to reveal the edginess of the characters, but plenty of good novels have been written without quite so much foul language. If that is not an issue for you, then enjoy a fun murder mystery. If you are like me and wish to not listen to a lot of profanity, this isn't a good book for you.What does Robert Glenister bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Glenister switches between accents and characters fluidly. He performs both male and female characters without making you cringe and is able to make each character stand apart from the other.Any additional comments?
I can see why Rowling chose to use a different pen name to write this book, as it is so dramatically different from the Harry Potter series. She demonstrates her skillful ability to weave a devilishly intricate plot and her masterful use of the english language to unfold her plot.Excellent story, but excessive profanity

The extraordinary talents of narrator Robert Glenister kept me listening, even after this modern twist on an old cliche lost my interest.

Glenister did a masterful job of the narration. He handles women's voices deftly -- something that is hard for most male narrators. His ability to do multiple accents was excellent and a lot of fun to listen to. Definitely better than I could have done in my mind were I reading this hardcopy.
The two main characters were unusual and interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed their interactions. The secondary characters were not as well drawn nor nearly as likable.
The story: herein lies the problem. The story line had promise that wasn't well fulfilled. It moved from being muddled and confusing to dull and tedious and then to some spates of intense action. If this is Rowling's first step into something other than YA stories, that might explain some of the weaknesses.
Given the narrator and the primary characters, I will keep listening to this series.

Any additional comments?
The book took me by surprised because I don't normally read a mystery thriller kind of book, but I took a chance on this one. I'm glad I did.Robert Glenister was an excellent choice to read this novel and the author - yes, I know who wrote it, really blew me away with the writing style. Very different from her YA books-- but that aside, I know I would have enjoyed this book even if I had not known who it was. I was drawn to checking it out because I knew she penned them, but I didn't love it BECAUSE it was her, if that makes sense.
Anyway-- take a chance with this. It was great. I loved it.
