The Silkworm
by Robert Galbraith
I want to be inside the brain of J.K. Rowling. First, it came up with the elaborate and magical world of Harry Potter. Then, it was able to create great mysteries that require a lot of work to pull together a cohesive puzzle. In The Silkworm, Cormoran Strike is hired to find a missing author. When the author is found dead, Strike then works to track down his real killer while the police assume it's his disgruntled wife. The mystery itself is compelling and the work of solving it keeps me turning the pages, but the real strength of these books is the character of Cormoran Strike. I mean, Strike is described as having pube-like hair and he is missing part of one of his legs, but something about him is still so sexy (and these books aren't even about that)! And, his assistant, Robin is fantastic. This book gave us a little bit more insight into her, but did not give all the answers to her history, and all I want is more Cormoran and more Robin. I sure hope there is another book coming out next year.
