Genre: Novel
Grade: B+
Notable People: Robert Galbraith
Title: Silkworm
Review: The second novel of three published by JK Rowling (Harry Potter) under the pen name of Galbraith, it is another extremely well written book. Galbraith/Rowling is the real deal as a writer, and these Cormoran Strike mysteries are quite the reads. Strike is a one legged gruff Afghanistan amputee living and working his private dick gig in the heart of London. The books are very descriptive and the mysteries pretty complicated. And, awful lot of red herrings. Strikes’ character is quite an enigma and well thought out and written. This is another good installment, but I found the last quarter of it dragged (the books are almost 500 pages to begin with). Still, a good read by a great writer.
