The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith (aka JK Rowling) is the 2nd book in the Cormoran Strike series. I really loved the 1st Strike novel. I think I finished it in less than 2 days. While I was really intrigued with The Silkworm, it just read kind of slow for me. There was a lot going on in this novel, so maybe it was just a little too much to read fast.
In The Silkworm, Cormoran's detective business is booming due to all the hype over him solving the Lula Laundry case. This time a woman named Leona Quine comes to him looking for help to find her husband, writer Owen Quine, who has gone missing. Mrs. Quine simply thinks her husband has went away for some quiet time due to a fight with his publisher about his newest novel. We later find out that Quine has been murdered in a very gruesome manner. Cormoran and Robin are on the case to find out all the details before the police.
This book was filled with tons of characters. I had a hard time keeping all of them straight in their lives and in Quine's novel. In the end another twist of who really committed the crime. While I didn't like this one as much as the first, I'm still looking forward to more adventures for Cormoran and Robin.
