The Cuckoo’s Calling reminds me why I fell in love with crime fiction in the first place - Val McDermid
One of the most unique and compelling detectives I’ve come across in years - Mark BillinghamOne of the best crime novels I have ever read - Alex GrayIn a rare feat, Galbraith combines a complex and compelling sleuth and an equally well-formed and unlikely assistant with a baffling crime in his stellar debut … Readers will hope to see a lot more of this memorable sleuthing team - Publishers Weekly, starred reviewEverytime I put this book down, I looked forward to reading more. Galbraith writes at a gentle pace, the pages rich with description and with characters that leap out of them. I loved it. He is a major new talent - Peter JamesLaden with plenty of twists and distractions, this debut ensures that readers will be puzzled and totally engrossed for quite a spell - Library JournalGalbraith’s characterisation is splendid and pops off the page, and his sense of place is rich and intense … I look forward to reading more about Cormoran Strike. He is fascinating to say the least - ShotsFull and original characters … a really good, solid mystery - Morning StarAbout The Author
