mdavids 's review for:

The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith
4.0

I enjoyed this more than the first Strike novel. I always like to read books about writing and publishing - is this Rowling's Bombyx Mori? Who knows!

Strike is a richer protagonist here. Although the setting is British, I think he would do well in an Ian Rankin novel.

The plot is a little gory for my tastes, and it's a bit long, but overall solid.

I can't help but wonder if I'd continue with the series if I didn't now who wrote it. Moot point, I do, and I will.
