About this product

Product Information

'Teems with sly humour, witty asides and intelligence ... A pleasure to read' TIMES ----- Now a major BBC drama: The Strike series 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. ----- PRAISE FOR THE STRIKE SERIES: 'One of the most unique and compelling detectives I've come across in years' MARK BILLINGHAM 'The work of a master storyteller' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Unputdownable. . . Irresistible' SUNDAY TIMES 'Will keep you up all night' OBSERVER 'A thoroughly enjoyable classic' PETER JAMES, SUNDAY EXPRESS

    Maintains the high standard of the first book - just.

    I like this type of detective novel - minimal sex and violence, a bit of a puzzle to work out and some slight humour. Holds the attention well. However I felt that it was slightly the weakest of the three books, but well worth reading for all that.

    Very battered - in tact, but knackered

    Very battered - in tact, but knackered. I suppose you pay for what you get and a battered book reads as good as a new one. Just be aware that you’ll not be thanked if you gave it as a gift.

  • Language!

    I know I am old fashioned, the story was ok but just did not like the swearing on so many pages so would not buy another of his books
