The Silkworm

by J.K. Rowling, Robert Galbraith
The Silkworm - Thryft
The Silkworm - Thryft

Twisty crime novel with a writer's twist.

The Silkworm could be an intriguing read for fans of crime fiction and thriller who enjoy stories that have twists and turns. The most unique feature of the book is its focus on the world of publishing and the harsh realities of the writing industry. The Silkworm presents a well-crafted plot that deals with the consequences that come with the power of the written word. Fans of Robert Galbraith and Joanne Kathleen Rowling's previous works will appreciate their mastery of character development, making The Silkworm a fast-paced and compulsively readable crime novel with an unforgettably brilliant ending.

Description

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.
