I said I was going to plow through all of the books in JK Rowling’s Cormoran Strike series and that’s exactly what I’m doing.

The Cuckoo’s Calling is the first novel in the series. It’s super funny, never boring but the mystery is rickety and unconvincing. JK Rowling didn’t yet to know what she was doing in this genre. The book is still better than 90% of mysteries but it’s nothing like her latest, Troubled Blood. That one was really outstanding.

On to number two in the series.
