A BUZZARD BOOK REVIEW
SO MANY BOOKS - SO LITTLE TIME
J.K. Rowling has a begun a
mystery series by the pseudonym of Robert Galbraith. It features a hard boiled detective in the
manner of Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe.
In the first of the series The
Cuckoo’s Calling we are introduced to Comoran Strike, a thirty-five year
old Afghan war veteran that lost his leg in combat, and his newly acquired
secretary Robin Ellacott.
Anyone that is a fan of classic
Dashell Hammett, Micky Spillane and Chandler will fall right in to this updated
version of Rowling’s new British Private
Eye.
This in not your Harry Potter;
but a hard drinking, hard smoking, hard fighting one legged private eye and his
sidekick secretary.
If you like mysteries you
might give this a try.
