DESCRIPTION:
But as Strike investigates, it becomes clear that there is more to Quine's disappearance than his wife realizes. At first, Mrs. When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective Cormoran Strike. Private investigator Cormoran Strike returns in a new mystery from Robert Galbraith, author of the number-one international best seller The Cuckoo's Calling. Quine just thinks her husband 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. When Quine is found brutally murdered under bizarre circumstances, it becomes a race against time to understand the motivation of a ruthless killer, a killer unlike any Strike has encountered before A compulsively listenable 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 El
Even Better Than The First I adored the first book, so I had high hopes for this one. I mean, really, really high hopes. I arranged my entire week around reading it so that once I started, I wouldn't have to put it down.This is always a dangerous endeavor, because if the book turns out to be less good than I hoped, I'm deeply disappointed.As you can guess by the title of this review, quite the opposite. Michael Haywood said Comes to a grinding halt halfway through. My biggest issue with the first Strike book was that it was too long and too slow. The second Strike book fixed one of those issues. Being 100 pages shorter really helped with the pacing early on but nearly halfway through, The book comes to a grinding halt and becomes another slow and tough to finish read. This isn't an insult to the characters or the plot. It just gets bori. I love J. K Rick Giles I love J.K. Rowling's beautiful command of the language, the pictures she paints and the way she weaves the plot of a story; I love Cormoran and Robin and how their relationship builds and matures. I didn't love the story. I found it tedious and by the time it ended, I really didn't care "whodunnit".
