I really enjoyed The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith/J.K. Rowling. J.K. Rowling is one of my favorite author. I really enjoyed this book, i couldn't put the book down! I enjoyed it so much. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys crime thrillers.

The second case brings a very gruesome murder scene, wouldn't recommend to those with a vivid imagination and a weak stomach. A great book!

Many brought the first book for the not so secret author, J.K. Rowling. There’s no doubting her writing talent, especially after her second Cormoran Strike novel. It was no fluke; Rowling is a new force in crime writing. The Silkworm is set in the world of publishing, novelist Owen Quine disappears and Strike find himself in a world stranger than fiction. With so many disgusting, lying persons of interest; the reader suspects everyone but Strike knows. With Holmes styles deductive skills, sorting the improbable and the impossible; even eager assistant Robin is left envious and guessing. A brilliant twisting and twisted book.

Another great read from a brilliant story teller. I thoroughly recommend it.

The Silkworm is the second book in the Cormoran Strike series by best-selling British author, J K Rowling, writing as Robert Galbraith. When the published author’s wife, Leonora comes to Strike wanting him to find Owen Quine, it’s because she thinks he’s off at a writers’ retreat and needs him back for their daughter. Strike starts with the publisher whom Leonora overhead mentioning the retreat, without result, but learns that Quine has just completed a manuscript that is libellous to many: a lot of recognisable people, thinly disguised. He then touches base with the man’s agent, editor, publisher, and lover, gathering snippets of information along the way, still without result, until mention is made of a jointly-owned house in Talgarth Street, where Strike makes a truly grisly discovery: there will be no happy reunion for Leonora and their developmentally-delayed daughter, Orlando. Leonora Quine’s manner doesn’t do her any favours with the police and, while Strike’s acquaintance from their time in Afghanistan, DI Richard Anstis gives him some inside information from the autopsy, he’s soon looking seriously at Leonora as the prime suspect. She begs him to find the killer, and Strike is convinced she’s not the murderer. But who is? Anyone who got an early read of the manuscript, especially if they appear in it, might have motive. After all, Quine was described by one of them thus: “the most monumentally arrogant, deluded bastard I’ve ever met.” Rather than allowing himself to be distracted by the upcoming wedding of Charlotte, his ex, Strike throws himself into the case as a way to fill his mind. And Robin Ellacott’s planned nuptials are welcome as they put his attractive receptionist firmly out of bounds. Robin, though, is dissatisfied on two counts: her fiancé, Matt is unhappy with her chosen work, which she’s loving, while Strike is talking of taking on extra help, and she wonders if she will be stuck in a boring reception role when she wants to be investigating. She certainly gets quite a bit of excitement (and a few bruises) in this instalment. Again, Galbraith gives the reader a plot with turns and surprises, and a truly brilliant twist at the end.
