The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith

OK, I finished this book just recently (read about 3 hours ago) and it's really wonderful. There's some profanity and mature subject matter but it's a book for adults I think we can handle it. The sequel comes out next month (all the back of the book says is June 2014 but according to the Robert Galbraith website the date is definitely June 19, 2014, exactly a month from today's date :D)

This book is the first in the Cormoran Strike series. When a famous model falls off her balcony to her death Cormoran is called in to investigate, was it suicide, as her death suggests? Or murder? There are many twists and turns along the way and the trail seems to be getting ever colder but Strike keeps investigating. If it was murder the murderer has to have slipped up somewhere along the way.

This book is a great read, I bought it last week (when I went to the 30th anniversary of one of the local bookstores?) and I finished it today and it's great, it's poignant and it keeps you riveted all through. The adventures of Cormoran Strike and his plucky young secretary/sidekick Robin will keep you wanting more and begging to know who the murderer is.

I will post no spoilers, that's mean, but you should definitely read this book, mystery fans the world over will love Cormoran Strike.
