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.

Mickey Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense attorney who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, traveling between the far-flung courthouses of Los Angeles to defend clients of every kind. Bikers, con artists, drunk drivers, drug dealers - they're all on Mickey Haller's client list. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence; it's about negotiation and manipulation.

Every day without fail, Travis Devine puts on a cheap suit, grabs his faux-leather briefcase, and boards the 6:20 commuter train to Manhattan, where he works as an entry-level analyst at the city’s most prestigious investment firm. In the mornings, he gazes out the train window at the lavish homes of the uberwealthy, dreaming about joining their ranks.

Then one morning Devine’s tedious routine is shattered by an anonymous email: She is dead.

An homage to queens of classic British crime such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, Alan's traditional formula has proved hugely successful.

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.

Historia
Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Surêté du Québec and his team of investigators are called in to the scene of a suspicious death in a rural village south of Montreal. Jane Neal, a local fixture in the tiny hamlet of Three Pines, just north of the U.S. border, has been found dead in the woods. The locals are certain it’s a tragic hunting accident and nothing more, but Gamache smells something foul in these remote woods, and is soon certain that Jane Neal died at the hands of someone much more sinister than a careless bowhunter.

A rare find

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.
There's a Red Herring, too.

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.
