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.
##最后凶手略狗血,前面铺垫太多了,一看就是个女人写的= =。
##偶发空缺没看完 这个看完了 算进步吧= = 英伦婶子们写书真闹心 不认识的单词多到我看的电子书都懒得点一下查词典 各种景物心里描写一概跳过
##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
##总的来说不错,情节设置还是花了一定的心思,最后的揭秘过程节奏很好。与之相对的就是前面百分之七十相当缓慢,有明显可以精简的地方。我对于两点持保留意见,其一是用了大量心理描写的方式来描写心理(就是OS太多),给人一种作者一定要亲自把人物的方方面面交代清楚的感觉(不知道是不是之前被太多同人给刺激了), 后遗症就是人物显得没太多余地。我并不希望在系列书的第一本里就把主角童年阴影爱情纠葛中年危机都了解得一清二楚啊。再加上每到一个场景就必有的大段静物描摹,拖慢了作为侦探小说应有的节奏。其二,就是我对凶手搬起石头砸自己脚的初衷实在无法理解,作者解释了那么多我还是觉得无法理解。当然,你可以用ta是一个神经病这种万能解释…
##断断续续看了很久总算看完了。如果怕看不下去,直接看对话部分也够了。
##口味不同吧,真心不喜欢这本书。
##是我没有读出来暗藏的玄机,其实我一直觉得应该是uncle不是她哥哥才对
