This is kind of a bummer in general. I hadn’t planned on reading this, and even thought about reading it one day at Barnes and Noble and just sort of decided not to. Then, they had it available on Overdrive when I was sort of looking for something to take up some dinnertime reading. And now I have read it.

But this year is mystery. And I’ve started off with a bang! The Cuckoo’s Calling is the first in the Cormoran Strike series. Cormoran Strike is a […]
