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! *** -----

Finally an author who can create characters, not just the plot! A modern Agatha Christie detective, an english Remington Steele story plot.

Gillar verkligen huvudpersonerna i boken. Denna hade många långa samtal men också lite aktion emellanåt. Dock för lång och inte lika bra som första. Jag hoppas på tredje boken att vara lagom dos av allt.

Ovanligt bra persongalleri. Blev överraskad när jag kom på att det JK Rawling (Harry Potter) som skrivit synonymt, fast jag är glad att jag inte viste det innan.... eftersom jag inte är jätte stor fan av Harry Potter böckerna.

Älskar karaktärerna men det här är nog den segaste boken i denna serie.

Fantastisk, sett serien så för mig var den förutsägbar, men en underbar uppläsare och story som utspelar sig i de Londonkvarter jag älskar och känner så väl 👏👏

Robert Glenister är en helt underbar uppläsare. Boken är för mig en bladvändare och skriven på ett roligt och lättsamt sätt. Väl värd att läsa/lyssna på.

Mycket bra, dock lite jobbigt att hålla reda på alla namn på personer som figurerade i boken.
