The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith
4.0

Although Book 1 of the Cormoran Strike series, The Cuckoo’s Calling, was an adequate, formulaic detective mystery with likable main characters, I was far from impressed. I decided (and stated in my review) that I wouldn’t be reading any more of Rowling’s (writing as Robert Galbraith) Cormoran Strike series. However, Mona's review of The Silkworm convinced me to give it another try, and I’m glad I did.

This time, the setting of the publishing world was obviously in Rowling’s wheelhouse and was much more believable than her previous depiction of the fashion and music industries. Cormoran Strike and his assistant, Robin continue to develop and become more compelling. The plot was twisty-turny with an intriguing mystery and very interesting supporting characters.

Now I’m hooked on this series and will definitely be reading the next book.
