Rowling ainsi que le premier de ses romans à avoir été publié sous pseudonyme. Et il est bon, très bon même ! Une place à prendre, son précédent roman, manquait de personnages aussi charismatiques et attachants que sont Cormoran Strike et Robin Ellacott, le détective privé et sa jeune et nouvelle secrétaire imaginé par l'auteur. On retrouve également les qualités narratives et descriptives que l'auteur a déployées dans sa série Harry Potter. L'intrigue est très prenante et remarquablement bien ficelée. J. K Rowling a choisi de narrer sa résolution de façon plutôt classique, n'apportant rien de plus au genre, ce qui peut être la seule critique valable que l'on peut lui faire. Un must !
Ublodig, men ikkje blodfattig Når Harry Potter-forfattar J.K. Rowling går til krimmen, satsar ho meir på person- og miljøskildring enn på å dikte opp utspekulerte drapsmetodar. Det er heilt ok. In “The Cuckoo’s Calling” Ms. Rowling — er, Mr. Galbraith — seems to have similarly studied the detective story genre and turned its assorted conventions into something that, if not exactly original, nonetheless showcases her satiric eye (most in evidence in the Potter books in her portraits of the bureaucrats and blowhards associated with the Ministry of Magic) and her instinctive storytelling talents. The Cuckoo’s Calling and Harry Potter both feature dead or absent parents, adoptees, and family intrigue. They both imagine highly complex worlds that are nonetheless knowable—if you study their laws closely—and amusing, and beautiful, and dangerous. If I’m honest, though, I liked Galbraith just a bit better than late Rowling. (The first four Harry Potter books still reign supreme.) While both writers are funny, suspenseful, and sharp about race and class, he seems under less pressure to take himself and his story seriously. I wonder why. There is no sign whatsoever that this is Galbraith’s first novel, only that he has a delightful touch, both for evoking London and for capturing a new hero. It is an auspicious debut.

A brilliant 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 now living in his office. Then John Bristow walks through his door with an amazing story: his sister, the legendary 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.

25 nov. 2013 ... Le livre est sorti en avril en Grande-Bretagne. Un polar classique, façon Agatha Christie bien ficelé, ... dans la lignée des romans policiers sombres qui sont à la mode, et signé Robert Galbraith. Un inconnu ...
Après le bancal Une place à prendre, J.K. Rowling revient à ce qu'elle sait faire: créer des personnages, raconter une histoire. Et écrire des pages formidables sur les désagréments de la célébrité (auxquels elle a tant goûté).
