I am really enjoying The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith (aka J.K. Rowling). I really like the flow of the novel and I feel there hasn't been any slow parts so far. I also find the private investigating aspect interesting because Strike is having to come up with clues and evidence months after Lula's fall. I would have a hard time knowing who to believe because you're having to go by different people's testimonies.
I also like the relationship between Robin and Strike. I'm glad its not a romantic relationship so the story can focus on Lula's possible murder and also finding out more about Robin and Strike as separate characters. I do like that Robin while at the beginning is all absorbed in her engagement, she is still a very mature character. She's takes initiative from the first minute Bristow comes into Strike's office to accommodate them and be professional. Also she has her secret desire to be involved in private investigating.
I believe Lula was probably murdered especially after Strike's comment about how she could have survived the fall. I don't have any guesses so far on who it could be. There are still people that Strike has not been able to interview like Some, Rochelle, and Freddie Bestigui. I'm hoping it will not be predictable and will be a surprise as to what happened to Lula.
