When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective Cormoran Strike. At first, she just thinks he has gone off by himself for a few days - as he has done before - and she wants Strike to find him and bring him home. But as Strike investigates, it becomes clear that there is more to Quine's disappearance than his wife realises. The novelist has just completed a manuscript featuring poisonous pen-portraits of almost everyone he knows. If the novel were published it would ruin lives - so there are a lot of people who might want to silence him. And when Quine is found brutally murdered in bizarre circumstances, it becomes a race against time to understand the motivation of a ruthless killer, a killer unlike any he has encountered before ...A compulsively readable crime novel with twists at every turn, The Silkworm is the second in the highly acclaimed series featuring Cormoran Strike and his determined young assistant Robin Ellacott.

Mel B from the buying team checking in here. We rated this series along time before it came out that J.K Rowling was writing them. Uber exciting to hear the next one is coming, Silkworm by Jk Rowling as Robert Galbraith. If you like a well written, pacey thriller then you will be hanging out like the rest of us to read this. Get started with Cuckoo's Calling in the wait.. woo hoo!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the sequel to The Cuckoo's Calling' by Robert Galbraith, possibly more than the original as I felt it book took awhile to understand and develop the rather complex back story of Strike and his assistant Robin. This book builds further on the relationship and as always J.K Rowling does a terrific job in her characterization. 'The Silkworm' quickly gets into the mystery of a high profile murder, giving fans a great detective novel. I found this book compelling and easy to read and hoping the author continues the Cormoran Strike series.

Saying that i couldn't put this book down sounds cliche`, but i really couldn't put it down, finishing this book at 4am on a Monday morning, loving every minute and really loving the characters, with all their quirks.
