The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This next book from Robert Galbraith (aka JK Rowling) is just as amazing as the first. I love crime thrillers and this is one of the best I’ve read.

 

“The Silkworm” follows Cormoran Strike once again months after he solved the Lula Landry case in the first book. With his name out there, he had more clients, requesting for spying of cheating spouses, until a rather eccentric woman came in asking him to find her missing husband, a “famous” writer, Owen Quine. Strike did find the man, lying dead with his guts missing, in an abandoned house once owned by his writer friend, Joe North. Now, Strike needed to find the murderer of the man who wrote a yet-unpublished book called “Bombyx Mori”, filled with bad portrayals of each person that he knew in his life.

I really love when a book is unpredictable – “The Silkworm” is not predictable at all. I did not know the murderer until the very last pages of the book. JKR got me in a roller-coaster ride, pulling me upside down, left and right, going everywhere but the murderer. And when you get to the end, you might want to read everything again and go: “Why didn’t I think of that?” JKR keeps you constantly guessing at every turn of the page.

I just hope JKR doesn’t stop writing this.
