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.

评分##I like it a lot, but something seems to be missing so I can't quite say I LOVE it.
评分##“Owen's murder has already been treated fictionally - by himself. ”两个人的感情生活描写都太拖沓,畅销书不必太文艺!

评分##可读性还算强,但是不能算一部好的侦探小说。好些情节都比较牵强。
评分##still so tiresome and endless,with malicous attitude towards certain type of person.Rowling's talent is in camflaging fantasy into reality,meanwhile,presenting reality is simply not her upper hand.
评分##前半部分过于拖沓。比《布谷鸟的呼唤》更有推理味
评分##优于第一部《布谷鸟的呼唤》但距离杰作还有一段距离,此外我对这本书的定义是犯罪小说而非推理小说。http://book.douban.com/review/7495676/
