I really enjoyed The Cuckoo's Calling. I listened to the audio version, which really *made* the book. I've heard from other people who read the book that it moved a little slow and got a bit boring, but I didn't experience that at all. I think the cadence of the narrator is perfect, he moved through passages, that might otherwise seem slow, and made them seem really exciting and informative. I also really liked how you could tell that Strike had pretty much figured everything out, but he hadn't to you (the reader) yet. It was like a double mystery, already you're trying to figure out who the bad guy is, but now you're also trying to figure out what Stirke knows that you don't. I'll definitely be listening to The Silkworm.
