Now a major BBC drama: The Strike series
When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective Cormoran Strike. At first, she just thinks he has gone off by himself for a few days — as he has done before — and she wants Strike to find him and bring him home.
But as Strike investigates, it becomes clear that there is more to Quine's disappearance than his wife realises. The novelist has just completed a manuscript featuring poisonous pen-portraits of almost everyone he knows. If the novel were published it would ruin lives — so there are a lot of people who might want to silence him.
And when Quine is found brutally murdered in bizarre circumstances, it becomes a race against time to understand the motivation of a ruthless killer, a killer unlike any he has encountered before...
A compulsively readable crime novel with twists at every turn, The Silkworm is the second in the highly acclaimed series featuring Cormoran Strike and his determined young assistant Robin Ellacott. *** The latest book in the thrilling Strike series, LETHAL WHITE is out now! *** -----

Elsker denne serien. J K Rowling briljerer når hun får skrive så groteskt hun bare vil. Robert Glenister er knallgod med de ulike stemmene. Nesten Stephen Fry-nivå.

Grei krim med godt persongalleri. Unødvendige dikt/sayings før hvert kapittel.Veldig fint at engelske bøker er delt in i kapitler!

Grei nok bok, men ikke god nok til å veie opp for lengden når slutten igjen er for njeh

Gripping! Plenty of quirky characters to feast your imagination on. Admirable language. Now for the third Strike novel in the trilogy and then I’ll watch the TV series. Plenty to look forward to.
