When a troubled model falls to her death from a snow-covered Mayfair balcony, it is assumed that she has committed suicide. However, her brother has his doubts, and calls in private investigator Cormoran Strike to look into the case.
Strike is a war veteran - wounded both physically and psychologically - and his life is in disarray. The case gives him a financial lifeline, but it comes at a personal cost: the more he delves into the young model's complex world, the darker things get - and the closer he gets to terrible danger . . .
A gripping, elegant mystery steeped in the atmosphere of London - from the hushed streets of Mayfair to the backstreet pubs of the East End to the bustle of Soho - The Cuckoo's Calling is a remarkable book. Introducing Cormoran Strike, this is a classic crime novel in the tradition of P. D. James and Ruth Rendell, and marks the beginning of a unique series of mysteries.
##断断续续看了很久总算看完了。如果怕看不下去,直接看对话部分也够了。
评分##拉了好长好长才突然间真相大白然后又瞬间结束,让人一时不能相信。
评分##作为悬疑小说其实我只想打两星,只是对罗琳姨不错的文笔本着学习的态度再多打一星。她花太多笔墨在环境、建筑和无关紧要的人物穿着和外貌描写上,以至于拖慢了行文节奏,淡化了悬疑感。每次侦探去采访,她都要把采访地的装潢形容一番,走到街上还要把经过的店说一遍,采访个人也要把人的外貌穿着说个遍,看得我多次想揪着她的脸喷一句“你只说重点会死吗?”这是小说,不是剧本,请把那些细微末节留给读者自己遐想好吗?华丽的辞藻显得很赘余,如果这篇是游记我就不得吹毛求疵了。另外案子本身也挺狗血。凶手自己雇侦探查已经被警方、媒体、大多数人定案为自杀的案子,就为了栽赃嫁祸?!其实哪怕那份所谓的遗嘱没找到,他完全可以自己暗地里找,没必要冒险给自己找麻烦。结论是,我再也不会看J.K. Rowling的书了。 @2015-02-08 20:26:09 @2021-12-22 10
评分##口味不同吧,真心不喜欢这本书。
评分 评分 评分##感觉很差劲,情节也一般,拖沓冗长,难怪开头就卖几百本,直到亮出作者的字号太开始热销。
评分##真的是意外惊喜特别喜欢。推理很随便最后凶手揭示是大弱点。但是罗琳真的是会讲故事,各种细节描写特别好,写人物/圈子更是一流。故事上感觉一定和Leveson Inquiry脱不了干系,她自己也出过庭。马上去看第二本。Strike和波洛,Shardlake一个脉络。
