Publisher's summary
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.

We’ve narrowed this wide-spanning genre down to 20 of the best mystery audiobooks we’ve heard so you can get to listening and searching for answers.
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.

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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 96
Detective Finnegan Beck is called to a crime scene - a remote house near the rural Irish town of Cross Beg - where a dog lies whimpering beside his beloved owner’s body. At first it looks like a burglary gone wrong. But Beck spots something his colleagues didn’t. The victim, Eddie Kavanagh, was wearing his smartest clothes. He’d brushed his hair. And, on closer inspection, a small velvet box containing an engagement ring is discovered in his pocket, along with a letter to a nameless woman, which seems to suggest she’s in danger.

Wonderful start to Strike mystery series
There's something wildly romantic about this exceptionally well written beginning of the series. The beginning of the series finds the wounded British Army hero barely hanging on to his detective agency in London.The day that he is brought a much-needed new case to work on - the seeming suicide of a world-famous young model - is also his new temp's first day on the job. The two quickly form a strong professional bond, each working to bring the truth forward. Their personal lives, meanwhile, intertwine. The writer makes London a character in this book, much as Conan Doyle did. The writer also has a wicked sense of satire, brought to the subject of fame and the famous, and the obsessions and envies fame engenders in popular culture. The long, twisted plot is diabolically clever, but the author is a genius, and crafts it so that - on a first listen or read - we don't know until the end that Strike had it figured out from the beginning. That makes a second and third listening even more fun - to appreciate fully the author's amazing gifts of mystery writing.

Thoroughly enjoyed the book
Enjoyed the suspense and build up of the story and characters. Very masterful. I am however curious why JB decided to reopen/have the case re-investigated when it appeared a done deal?

A great start to a series!
I really enjoyed the performance. Robert Glenister did a fantastic job. I think people who read crime novels will like these books. I’m also drawn in by the chemistry between Cormoran and Robin (I’m currently on book 3) and look forward to the rest of the books in this series.

You're going to love Robin and Cormoran.
I admit it; I've never read Harry Potter. But Rowling's writing genius is proven under the pen name Robert Galbraith. I'm hooked and will read everything Rowling writes in the future. As far as this book goes, it's a noir at its best, with rich, flawed, and wonderful characters. Robin's and Cormoran's mutual attraction is well developed, yet Galbraith leaves us hungry, so hungry, for what will happen next. I'm a huge fan. I can't wait for the next one in the series.
