Book Notices | The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith

Robert Galbraith, The Silkworm

  Amazon  

Just finished Robert Galbraith's compulsively readable second Cormoran Strike novel only to find out that the books are being turned into a BBC miniseries! This is great news, though one worries what their choice of actors will be. Unusually, perhaps unprecedentedly, I've had a very particular person in mind while reading The Silkworm, Israeli actor Oded Fehr. Ditch the accent and he'd be perfect for the part, I think. At any rate, I think I enjoyed The Silkworm even more than The Cuckoo's Calling. I was completely blindsided at Strike's resolution of the whodunit--the "it" being the particularly gruesome murder of an egotistical author. But what I really love about the series is the relationship between Strike and his secretary/helpmate Robin. She's engaged; he still thinks about his ex; it's complicated. But their courtship, if one can call it that, is exquisite.
