The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith
4.0
TW: Rape
When infamous writer Owen Quine disappears, his wife reaches out to Strike to investigate what she believes to be a mysterious departure. Strike and Robin work together to infiltrate parties and interview staff of multiple publishing companies to get to the bottom of Quine's disappearance.
While not my favorite Strike book, Galbraith continues to keep me guessing throughout The Silkworm. I was just as surprised by the ending here as I was by the ending of The Cuckoo's Calling. I find Galbraith's writing to be mainly character conversation-focused, with some London-based descriptions (which I can take or leave, having never been to London). There is slight character development, but it's more of a backstory to the mystery storyline. The tension between Robin and Cormoran continues to grow, leaving me wondering if they will eventually have a relationship beyond the friendly and workplace.
