This book's plot is grisly and so improbable that the story bogs down in several places. However, the characters are interesting and well-drawn and will get me reading the next book in this series.

This is the 2nd book written by J.K. Rowling under the pseudonym of Robert Galbraith. The 1st, The Cuckoo's Calling, introduced PI Cormoran Strike. He is also the central character in The Silkworm. Both of these books are extremely well written. The characters are well developed, and the stories are intriguing. I read The Cuckoo's Calling on my Kindle and had a hard time putting it down when I had to do other things. My copy of The Silkworm is an Audio CD book. My husband and I listen to such books in the car when we are going places, wherever that might be. Fortunately, for us we had a long, out-of-town trip to make while listening to The Silkworm. Another important thing about this audio version of the book is that the narrator, Robert Glenister, is an excellent reader. He does a great job with the various voices for both male and female characters. I assume (hope) that this series will continue.

A nice follow up to Galbraiths first book " The Cookoo's calling" The main characters are more fully developed , the plots are twisted and compelling.. a very enjoyable read.
