Comoran Strike, the bastard son of a rock legend, is a struggling private eye in the city. He is commissioned by the brother of a supermodel who recently committed suicide to investigate further to see if she hadn’t actually been murdered. The suspect list is long and each of them has their faults. They each see a different side to the model than the others and it’s only by talking to each one of Lula’s friends, neighbors and colleagues that Comoran is able to determine exactly who this woman is and what she has been up to in the last few days of her life. In the end Comoran comes to a conclusion that is both surprising and satisfying.

The Cuckoo’s Calling is one to stick with. In true Grisham style, the book starts out slow building a background to each character that is introduced. As we get to know the characters better, the story picks up and the investigation ensues. I give this read 5 stars and recommend it to anyone who likes a good mystery to solve.
