The Silkworm: A Cormoran Strike Novel, cartea 2
Autor Robert Galbraithen Limba Engleză Paperback – iun 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
"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 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)
"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
"...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 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
"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
PRAISE FORTHE CUCKOO'S CALLING:
"A gritty, absorbing tale." --People
"Cleverly plotted... Rowling serves up a sushi platter of red herring, sprinkling clues along the way, before Strike draws a confession out of the killer in a climax straight out of Agatha Christie." --Entertainment Weekly
"Highly entertaining [with] a team whose further adventures the reader cannot help eagerly awaiting." --Michiko Kakutani,New York Times
"[Rowling's] literary gift is on display in this work. She crafts an entertaining story [and] comes up with an ending that I'll admit I was surprised by. . . . A fun read, with a main character you can care about and one you'll want to see again in other adventures." --The Washington Post

"The
master
is
back.

[Rowling]
returns
to
the
strengths
that
made
Harry

great--the
beautiful
sense
of
pacing,
the
deep
but
illusionless
love
for
her
characters--without
sacrificing
the
expanded
range
ofThe
Casual
Vacancy."
