Quando uma perturbada modelo despenca para a morte de uma varanda coberta de neve, fica assumido que ela cometera suicídio. Entretanto, seu irmão tem suas dúvidas e telefona um detetive particular, Cormoran Strike, para investigar o caso. Strike é um veterano de guerra – ferido física e psicologicamente – e sua vida está uma bagunça. O caso lhe fornece uma salvação financeira, porém com um custo pessoal: quanto mais ele se aprofunda no complexo mundo da jovem modelo, mais sombrias as coisas vão se tornando – e mais perto ele fica do terrível perigo... Um elegante e dominante mistério mergulhado na atmosfera de Londres – desde as silenciosas ruas de Mayfair aos bares clandestinos de East End até a agitação de Soho – “The Cuckoo’s Calling” é um livro extraordinário. Apresentando Cormoran Strike, este é o aclamado primeiro romance criminal de J.K. Rowling, escrevendo sob o pseudônimo de Robert Galbraith.

“The dead could only speak through the mouths of those left behind, and through the signs they left scattered behind them.”I was afrai I was not going to like this book, since I didn't enjoy "Casual Vacancy", Rowling's other adult book, that much, but I was thankfully very wrong, because I absolutely adored this book! Although at the beginning the pace was kind of slow and it took me a while to warm up to the characters, Rowling managed to build such a interesting story and a compelling mystery, as well as realistic and engrossing characters, that it was impossible to put the book down at one point. There were a lot of surprising turns and the ending was not what I was expecting at all. I LOVED Strike and Robin's interactions and their developing relationship and I can't wait to see how it will explored in the next books. I'm so, so excited to pick up The Silkworm now, it's said to be darker and more thrilling than this first installment, so I can't wait!
