#1: The Cuckoo's Calling

I finished The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith last night.  Galbraith is a pseudonym for JK Rowling.  The Cuckoo's Calling is the first book in the Cormoran Strike series.  Strike is a private detective in England.  Both his business and love life are failing, but he gets a great new start when Robin joins his office as a temporary secretary.  The day she joins, he gets asked to help prove that supermodel Lula Landry did not commit suicide, but instead was murdered.

I really liked the characters of Strike and Robin.  They had such a unique way of working together.  I also loved the voice of Strike.  He was really grumpy and rude at times, but he was also funny and definitely good at his job.

I had a hard time putting the book down.  I really wanted to figure out what happened.  Several times I thought I had it figured out, but I really didn't know what happened until the very end.  I can't wait to read the next book in this series.

Up Next:  Little Mercies by Heather Gudenkauf
