Köp båda 2 för 286 krThe 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 Billingham * One of the best crime novels I have ever read * Alex Gray * Everytime 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 James * Just once in a while a private detective emerges who captures the public imagination in a flash. And here is one who might well do that . . . There is no sign that this is Galbraith's first novel, only that he has a delightful touch for evoking London and capturing a new hero. An auspicious debut * Daily Mail * In 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 review * Laden with plenty of twists and distractions, this debut ensures that readers will be puzzled and totally engrossed for quite a spell * Library Journal * A scintillating debut novel . . . Galbraith delivers sparkling dialogue and a convincing portrayal of the emptiness of wealth and glamour * The Times, Saturday Review * Utterly compelling . . . a team made in heaven and I can't wait for the next in the series * Saga Magazine * The detective and his temp-agency assistant are both full and original characters and their debut case is a good, solid mystery * Morning Star * The plot could have come from an Agatha Christie novel and yet The Cuckoo's Calling is absolutely of today, colourfully written and great fun * Bookoxygen.com * Galbraith demonstrates superb flair as a mystery writer * Birmingham Post * This debut is instantly absorbing, featuring a detective facing crumbling circumstances with resolve instead of cliched self-destruction and a lovable sidekick with contagious enthusiasm for detection . . . Kate Atkinson's fans will appreciate his reliance on deduction and observation along with Galbraith's skilled storytelling * Booklist * The most engaging British detective to emerge so far this year . . . An astonishingly mature debut from Galbraith, it marks the start of a fine crime career * Daily Mail online * Rowling is a formidable storyteller . . . the plot is tightly moulded and told * Mark Lawson, The Guardian * A sharply contemporary novel full of old-fashioned virtues . . . wonderfully fresh and funny. I hope this is the inauguration of a series that lasts long enough to make Harry Potter look like a flash in the pan * Jake Kerridge, The Daily Telegraph * The appeal of The Cuckoo's Calling doesn't depend at all on Rowling's prior status. All credit to her: she has created a really good series here. Strike will be back * Evening Standard * Rowling's descriptions of contemporary London are excellent * Mail on Sunday * It should come as no surprise that her first foray into crime fiction is so accomplished . . . a brilliant depiction of London life . . . at heart it's an engrossing and well-crafted who-dunnit. Unsurprisingly excellent * Sunday Mirror * It's probably best, for the moment, to forget Robert Galbraith's real identity; this is a very good book in its own right * Independent * Her crime debut beguilingly shows that she can renounce magic and yet be magical * Sunday Times * An accomplished piece that thoroughly deserves its retrospective success * Financial Times * A gripping, finely crafted and atmospheric mystery, and its charismatic hero, ex-solder-turned-private-eye Cormoran Strike, is a brilliant creation * Sunday Business Post * Beautifully written with a terrific plot ... It's a terrific read, gripping, original and funny ... Please, please give us more of Robert Galbraith and Cormoran Strike * Daily Express * The work of a master storyteller . .
