The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert GalbraithMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
After losing his leg to a land mine in Afghanistan, Cormoran Strike is barely scraping by as a private investigator. Strike is down to one client, and creditors are calling. He has also just broken up with his longtime girlfriend and is living in his office.
Then John Bristow walks through his door with an amazing story: His sister, the legendary supermodel Lula Landry, known to her friends as the Cuckoo, famously fell to her death a few months earlier. The police ruled it a suicide, but John refuses to believe that. The case plunges Strike into the world of multimillionaire beauties, rock-star boyfriends, and desperate designers, and it introduces him to every variety of pleasure, enticement, seduction, and delusion known to man.
Strike's secretary was hired as a temp but she proves to be invaluable through the whole investigation. As they get closer to finding out the different people involved in what they believe was murder, you start wondering who is the murderer if it was murder and not suicide. I had it pinned down to 2 people and was wrong. I liked the characters of Strike and his secretary, Robin.

Do you think that Strker and Robin as characters are a good enough reason to sit through the whole book?
