When a troubled model falls to her death from a snow-covered Mayfair balcony, it is assumed that she has committed suicide. However, her brother has his doubts, and calls in private investigator Cormoran Strike to look into the case.

Strike is a war veteran - wounded both physically and psychologically - and his life is in disarray. The case gives him a financial lifeline, but it comes at a personal cost: the more he delves into the young model's complex world, the darker things get - and the closer he gets to terrible danger . . .

A gripping, elegant mystery steeped in the atmosphere of London - from the hushed streets of Mayfair to the backstreet pubs of the East End to the bustle of Soho - The Cuckoo's Calling is a remarkable book. Introducing Cormoran Strike, this is a classic crime novel in the tradition of P. D. James and Ruth Rendell, and marks the beginning of a unique series of mysteries.

读后感

街上嗡嗡的私语就像一群飞舞的苍蝇。那些拍照片的站在警察设置的围栏后面，端着长焦的相机，嘴里呼出一道向上的白气。雪花悠悠地落在帽子和肩膀上；指套里的手指忙不迭地擦干净镜片。无聊的围观者为打发时间一次次掀起路中间那个帆布帐幔发出无意的咔擦声，后面就是通往那座高...

我以为是的俩人结果都不是，这不是灯下黑嘛。。。。阿姨还是继续魔法世界吧

作为悬疑小说其实我只想打两星，只是对罗琳姨不错的文笔本着学习的态度再多打一星。她花太多笔墨在环境、建筑和无关紧要的人物穿着和外貌描写上，以至于拖慢了行文节奏，淡化了悬疑感。每次侦探去采访，她都要把采访地的装潢形容一番，走到街上还要把经过的店说一遍，采访个人也要把人的外貌穿着说个遍，看得我多次想揪着她的脸喷一句“你只说重点会死吗？”这是小说，不是剧本，请把那些细微末节留给读者自己遐想好吗？华丽的辞藻...

侦探君真是不打算改行去做记者？助手明显更懂查案的感觉，线索铺那么开都是絮絮叨叨，罗琳姨营销比书好，不过感觉拍个迷你剧倒应该不错

失眠，然后看完了。
