cheap! The Cuckoo's Calling [Hardcover] J. K. Rowling


Review

"One of the books of the year." (USA Today)

"Robert Galbraith has written a highly entertaining book... Even better, he has introduced an appealing protagonist in Strike, who's sure to be the star of many sequels to come.... its narrative moves forward with propulsive suspense. More important, Strike and his now-permanent assistant, Robin (playing Nora to his Nick, Salander to his Blomkvist), have become a team - a team whose further adventures the reader cannot help eagerly awaiting." (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times)

"Rowling switches genres seamlessly...a gritty, absorbing tale." (People (3.5/4 stars))

"An extravagant, alien, fascinating world for its characters to explore...great pleasures." (Slate)

"I couldn't stop myself from thoroughly enjoying The Cuckoo's Calling... The book's real magic is in Rowling's distinctive descriptive prose." (Carole E. Barrowman, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)

"THE CUCKOO'S CALLING reminds me why I fell in love with crime fiction in the first place." (Val McDermid, bestselling author of The Vanishing Point)

The dollar's holding steady like a rock in a stream, buoyed by investors who've got their eyes glued to the upcoming Federal Reserve policy meeting. There's a bit of a buzz about geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, making investors a bit jittery and giving the dollar a bit of a boost​​. Then, there's talk about the Federal Reserve potentially pushing back against the idea of a rate cut anytime soon. This is like a plot twist in a thriller movie for the traders, who are now less convinced about a rate drop in March. The dollar, meanwhile, is flexing its muscles a bit, up by 0.19% against a basket of currencies. Across the pond, the Euro's taken a bit of a tumble, and there's chatter about when the European Central Bank might ...
