The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith

4.0

I loved Cuckoo's Calling so when I saw this book was out, I had to read it. The basic plot centers around a novelist who is butchered in a manner taken directly from his most recent manuscript. Just like the previous the book is rather slow, until suddenly one piece of information allows the whole mystery to be solved. It was a good read, and it kept me up late at night, as I felt I had to know who the killer was. My only complaint was that I found the description of the death as well as the story written by the novelist in the story rather gruesome and terrifying. Certain parts of the book had me feeling that if I did not finish I would not be able to sleep, but I'm just the type of person who scares easily so maybe that was just me. Overall, it was entertaining.
