"The Cuckoo's Calling" - Robert Galbraith... well sort of

Being honest, I requested " The Cuckoo's Calling' because of the pseuydonym story and the origins of this book. I'm not sure if I would have got round to it if I didn't know it was a JK Rowling book, but then I may well have done. I have JK Rowling's A casual Vacancy, but it's still not been read. It's on that list we all keep of books we own, just haven't got round too. I have a serious case of the library has so many books that I can read syndrome, I blame the best friend, it is clearly contagious. I actually really enjoyed "The Cuckoo's Calling" It was a really good read, and knowing the truth about the authorship makes sense. You can clearly see Rowling in how the story is wrote, and concluded. It doesn't feature any magic or anything like that, but there are certain similar traits between the characters and plot line that does link the Harry Potter series of books along with this. My question to myself and others though is does the pseuydonym make a difference, would I have linked the two if i didn't already know. Does the author make a difference or would i have bought/read the next Robert Galbraith book naturally anyway because I enjoyed this one. I really don't know at the moment. But interested for comments...
