Shamus Award (2015)
When
novelist
Owen
Quine
goes
missing,
his
wife
calls
in
private
detective
Cormoran
Strike.
At
first,
Mrs.
Quine
just
thinks
her
husband
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
realizes.
The
novelist
has
just
completed
a
manuscript
featuring
poisonous
pen-portraits
of
almost
everyone
he
knows.
If
the
novel
were
to
be
published,
it
would
ruin
lives--meaning
that
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
might
want
him
silenced.
When
Quine
is
found
brutally
murdered
under
bizarre
circumstances,
it
becomes
a
race
against
time
to
understand
the
motivation
of
a
ruthless
killer,
a
killer
unlike
any
Strike
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.

Recenzii
"Strike
shares
a
trait
with
many
great
fictional
detectives:
He
is
darn
good
company...The
Silkwormis
a
very
well-written,
wonderfully
entertaining
take
on
the
traditional
British
crime
novel...Robert
Galbraith
may
proudly
join
the
ranks
of
English,
Scottish
and
Irish
crime
writers
such
as
Tana
French,
Ian
Rankin,
Val
McDermid,
John
Connolly,
Kate
Atkinson
and
Peter
Robinson."—Harlan

Book
Review
"Cormoran Strike is back, and so is his resourceful sidekick, Robin Ellacott, a gumshoe team that's on its way to becoming as celebrated for its mystery-solving skills as Nick and Nora Charles of "Thin Man" fame,and Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander (a.k.a. the girl with the dragon tattoo)."—Michiko Kakutani,The New York Times
"The plot zings along...Swift and satisfying"—Carolyn Kellogg,The Los Angeles Times
"'The last line ofThe Silkworm, which will lift the hearts of readers who have come to love its deeply sympathetic characters, offers the prospect of more of that joy both for her and for us."—Charles Finch,USA Today (3.5/4 stars)
"A compulsively entertaining yarn."—Thom Geier,Entertainment Weekly
"Robert Galbraith... has written a second absorbing whodunit starring detective Corcmoran Strike to follow last year's stealth hit,The Cuckoo's Calling.... Astutely observed, well-paced...TheSilkwormthoroughly engages as a crime novel."—Sue Corbett,People
The Silkwormis fast-paced and entertaining... Strike is heroic without intending to be and has a great back story. He's the illegitimate son of a rock star whose half-siblings grew up in privilege... And he's brooding, but not annoyingly so. Strike has all kinds of potential. It'd be a crime not to keep up with him."—Sherryl Connelly,Daily News
"Why is "likable" the first word that comes to mind upon finishingThe Silkworm? Surely, that has something to do with Rowling's palpable pleasure in her newly chosen genre (the jig may be up with her Robert Galbraith pseudonym, but the bloom is still on her homicidal rose) and even more to do with her detective hero, who, at the risk of offending, is the second husband of every author's dreams."—Louis Bayard,The Washington Post
"The story is enthralling, not only for its twists and turns, but for the fun of the teamwork.... [It's] a cast of characters who you'll want to meet again and again."—Ashley Ross,Time
"[The Silkwormis a] swift-paced, suspenseful mystery....Robert Galbraith has announced himself a fresh voice in mystery fiction: part hard-boiled, part satiric, part poignant, and part romantic."—Tom Nolan,The Wall Street Journal
"Bring on the next one, please....Galbraith writes with wit and affection for detective-novel tradition (it's impossible not to see her central duo as a modern-day Nick and Nora, minus the marriage), and races us through a twisty plot so smoothly that you won't notice as the hours tick by."—Moira MacDonald,The Seattle Times
"Having just the better part of a day and a night making my way through the 455 pages ofThe Silkworm... I must say, I don't mind at all... The murder mystery at the heart ofThe Silkwormis a genuine mystery with an altogether satisfying resolution."—Malcolm Jones,The Daily Beast
"[Galbraith] weaves a pleasurably wicked literary murder mystery with all its attendant aspects of publishing politics, from the peevish to the pompous, into Strike's personal and professional lives....Only two books in, and Galbraith's characters already feel like familiar-and welcome-friends."—Daneet Steffens,The Boston Globe
