I am just about to start reading part 3 of 'The Cuckoo's Calling' & looking forward to reading the rest of it & how many more swear words appear along the way!
JK's descriptive writing ability down to the finest detail of London is excellent & adds authenticity. As it brings so much more depth to the plot. The main characters of the story so far, seem multi dimensional, likeable & I can almost visualise them as real people! In particular, I am liking the characters 'Strike' & 'Robin', their mannerisms, the way they interact with each other & how they think use their initiative.

Another reason to read 'The Cuckoo's Calling'!
JK gets help from experts & donates money to an amazing charity in return!
This explains why the character 'Strike' is so clearly defined and well formed in 'The Cuckoo's Calling'.
3 years royalties from the sale of the book has been promised to ABF The Soldiers Charity by JK. It was pledged as a thank you to service personnel who helped with her research the title, which tells the story of 'Strike' a veteran. (Soldier Magazine, September 2013)
