The Cuckoo's Calling (Cormoran Strike, Bk 1)

After not finishing the disappointing A Casual Vacancy, I had low hopes for Rowling's (aka Galbraith) next foray into modern adult fiction, and was much delighted to become totally absorbed with this first of a new series. It features Cormoran Strike, a perceptive and persistent detective in London. His forte is finding clues the police and others have missed. His assistant, Robin, a temp secretary keeps his office going while Cormoran ferrets out the baddies. Definite "cant put down" material. Mystery fans will enjoy it, and look forward to the 2nd book as much as I do.
