Une nuit d hiver, dans un quartier chic de Londres, le célèbre mannequin Lula Landry est trouvée morte, défenestrée. Suicide. Affaire classée. Jusqu au jour où l avocat John Briscow, frère de la victime, frappe à la porte du détective privé Cormoran Strike.Strike est au bout du rouleau : ex-lieutenant dans l armée, il a perdu une jambe en Afghanistan, sa carrière de détective est au point mort et sa vie privée un naufrage. Aidé par une jeune recrue intérimaire virtuose de l Internet, Strike est chargé d'enquêter sur la mort de Lula.De boîtes de nuit branchées en hôtels pour rock-stars assaillies par les paparazzi, en passant par un centre de désintoxication et le manoir où se meurt la mère adoptive de Lula, Strike va passer de l autre côté du miroir glamour de la mode, dont les reflets chatoyants dissimulent un gouffre de secrets, de trahisons, de man uvres inspirées par la vengeance.Avec son intrigue haletante et sa galerie de personnages plus vrais que nature, L Appel du Coucou, premier volet des aventures du détective Strike, emprunte à la fois au classicisme d un Chandler, d'une Agatha Christie ou d une P.D. James. Un coup de maître.

4.0 J.K. Rowling Does "Mystery"
... and really, is there anything she can't write? This may not be the most ingenious of plots (supermodel with "issues" falls to her death from the balcony of her high rise apartment; after the police have declared her death a probable suicide and closed the case, her brother shows up at the offi...

3.5 The Cuckoo's Calling
I don’t always feel the need to write detailed reviews of books that have already been reviewed up the wazoo. This is one of those times, so I’m just going to jot down some impressions I want to remember. If Galbraith had never been outed as JK Rowling, I totally would have believed this book was ...
