The Cuckoo’s Calling
The Cuckoo’s Calling by author Robert
Galbraith was doing an average business. Since April, 1500 copies had been
sold, until it was leaked that the crime novel was actually written by none
other than the queen herself, JK Rowling (JKR)! The leak propelled the novel to
number one and reprints were ordered. Her fans were ecstatic and did all that
we could to get our hands on The Cuckoo’s Calling. As it turned out, the
book didn't disappoint at all. However, JK Rowling has
expressed her anger because she didn't want her
false identity as Robert Galbraith to be leaked to the media; she enjoyed the
liberating experience of writing under a pseudonym without any hype and
expectations, according to her.
The book synopsis:
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, and creditors are calling. He has
also just broken up with his longtime girlfriend and is living in his office. Then John Bristow walks through his door with an
amazing 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.
Even with the confusion surrounding the novel, "The
Cuckoo's calling" has jumped to 1 on the bestseller charts. Rowling has expressed her desire
to continue writing under the pseudonym, and continue "The Cuckoo's Calling" story line to expand into another series.
