Great song? Good show? Bad movie? What should be enjoyed and what should be avoided.

Strike: Cuckoo's calling

The Mem's office are keen on this mainly because it was partly filmed in their London offices. I'm not keen, it is by JK Rowling under an alias and written for an adult audience, but it seems very simplistic with everything telegraphed. Our hero is a wounded ex-army officer who doesn't seem to have a pension or have received a lump sum for his injury for what appear to be plot reasons. I'm one episode in, (of three) and I'll stick it out but I really wouldn't recommend it.

It is about the death of a model and our hero is engaged by her foster brother to investigate. Given the title can you guess who the murderer is? Yep, that is the level of subtlety here.
Get it up ye.

I've never read or seen anything written by that awful woman, and by the sound of things I'll not be starting soon.

She's actually quite nice in person, but English . . .
