书籍简介:

A brilliant debut mystery in a classic vein: Detective Cormoran Strike investigates a supermodel's suicide. 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, thelegendary 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. You may think you know detectives, but you've never met one quite like Strike. You may think you know about the wealthy and famous, but you've never seen them under an investigation like this.

作者简介:

Glenister made his first television appearance in the sitcom Sink or Swim in 1980. He has also appeared in shows such as Soldier Soldier, Doctor Who (in the serial The Caves of Androzani, opposite his Sink or Swim co-star Peter Davison), Only Fools and Horses (as Myles the millionaire garden centre owner and chairman of the SWANS committee), A Touch of Frost and Hustle as Ash Morgan, as well as several films.

He is probably best known for his starring role in the BBC drama Hustle; Ash Morgan is a high-level con-man who has to convincingly play various roles or characters in order to pull off a con and lure a 'mark'. He is the only actor who has appeared in every episode of the series.

He has also had regular starring roles in the BBC dramas Spooks, George Gently and Spartacus.

书友短评:

@ snoopy The logic makes no sense, but you have to admired the author’s way of elaborating every detail and all these possible psychological movement. He might do so, John, with his personality and his lack of insecurity. Again, Rowling is not a great author in plots, but you would have to give award on her meticulousness. @ 贺新凉 罗琳阿姨蛮会讽刺人的,把妖里妖气的同性恋设计师描写得惟妙惟肖。看毛毛熊侦探艰苦创业,可以安慰到刚刚开始上班的我。Robin是个机敏地小助理,讨人喜欢。 @ mi 喜欢!打算看完整个系列 @ ZZ 是一部以人物驱动的侦探小说。在破案的过程中,一个个鲜活的人物形象跃然纸上。犯罪无非就是这几个动机:为情,为钱,为名。最后的大反转还是将悬念推到了最高潮。 @ Roxy Luo 第一本。我的期待值就tm…算了不生气,不值得。
