What did you think of Cuckoo's Calling?

Your list also reminds me that I used to love reading Doris Kearns Goodwin and she has fallen off my radar.

I enjoyed Cuckoo's Calling as I was reading it, but didn't feel moved to immediately read or write fanfiction. Writing this, I'm trying to remember if I guessed whodunnit, and just realized I can't even remember whodunnit. I added the next book in the series to my library list, but didn't preorder it on Amazon so I could get my hands on it as soon as possible like I did with the Harry Potters.

The Doris Kearns Goodwin I didn't actually enjoy, because it was very long and I wasn't actively interested in the subject matter. I just read it because Eddie Izzard recommended it (which impresses me that he read it, because he's dyslexic.)
