Sushi was the food and “The Cuckoo’s Calling,” by JK Rowling was the book for our August book club. (See my review on the right).

Some of us liked the book, while others said it was okay. I enjoyed the protagonist, Cormoran Strike (what a name), and his personality fit the name. This is no Snape, or Dumbledore. A wonderfully flawed, one-legged Afghan veteran, with an estranged girlfriend that weighs heavy on this mind.

Now, mix in an alleged suicide of a world-famous model and some stimulating characters, and you have a refreshing whodunit.

Not sure if its book club material, but a good read nonetheless.
