As I listened to key players come and go (and go and go), I was reminded of the revolving door that's been installed at the executive mansion. All the crazy that you THOUGHT was going on during the election, during the transition, during the first 100 days, and during the first 6 months of Trump's presidency is only scratching the surface of crazy. So. Much. Crazy.

OK, on to the review. Detective Cormoran Strike is former--former military, former fiance, former bipedal. He is failing miserably as a gumshoe when two things happen in succession--he is sent an amazing temporary office assistant named Robin, and a new client walks into his office asking him to investigate the "suicide" of supermodel Lula Landry--the Cuckoo of the title. These two coincidental occurrences start to turn Strike's life around, at least as far as putting his bank account back into the black and getting his mind off of his former fiance. I found the plot completely engaging, the characters (especially Strike and Robin) on par with what I've come to expect from Rowling. I simply did not want this to end (and Audible narrator Robert Glenister was a treat to listen to!) I can't wait to get the next two installments.
