There is a lot of technical information especially early on, but this is a fascinating book. It was recommended to me, and I highly recommend it to others.

I was expecting and hoping for another "No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, and it isn't. It is amusing, though.

The Cuckoo's Calling kept me guessing up to the end. Galbraith created interesting characters who are more than one dimensional. At the risk of sounding like a complete prude, I do wish talented writers would realize they do not need to pepper every page with profanity, particularly the f-bomb. It isn't needed; it doesn't enhance the story; and no one would miss it if it weren't there.

This is the third Goldy book I've read. The other two were later ones in the series, and I haven't read the first. I think Davidson improves as the character grows, but I learned more of Goldy's background with this one. As with the other two, there are a couple of recipes I want to try out.
It isn't necessary to read them in order, but reading the earlier ones explains some references made in later ones.

Sweet story with good lessons without being preachy. Also invokes memories for older folks like me.

Excellent book. I highly recommend it to everyone. D'Souza is in a position to give a view of the U.S. that native citizens can't really have.
