Starting around the sixth Harry Potter adventure, each time I've sat down to read another of J.K. Rowling's books (in this case as Robert Galbraith), I'm prepared to discover that I had crossed some imagined line of well-read maturity leaving me out of love with her work. It just never happens.Since...
Very readable book. I probably enjoyed book one just that little bit more, but still, book 2 powers along and pulls the reader in, until you find yourself reading the book in to the early hours, thinking... just one more chapter, until you've gone and devoured the whole darn thing.A great main char...
It took me months to finish Cuckoo's Calling. Thankfully I didn't have that issue with this book. I enjoyed this book a lot and it reminded me of the joy that I got reading Agatha Christie when I was younger. On the mystery side of the story I have very few complaints. On the interpersonal relations...
THE SILKWORM is the second book in Robert Galbraith’s CORMORAN STRIKE series, Life has returned somewhat to normal after the events of the first book in the series THE CUCKOO’S CALLING, and Strike is busying himself with cases of suspected cheating when Leonora Quine, the wife of author Owen Quine, ...
Rowling continues to impress me. She's got a good set-up for her series: Cormoran has an elaborate backstory, Robin has an elaborate backstory, and they both have somewhat complicated romantic lives during the events of the book (by way of contrast, we never learn much about Marple or Poirot as peop...
I adore this book! I'm becoming really attached to Strike and his assistant and really enjoyed their hijinks in this book. The crime itself kept me guessing the whole time, there were lots of red herrings that made me second guess myself the whole time. I'm totally ready to read another Cormoran Str...
I liked this one much better than the first. I think it flowed much better and wasn't as slow. Although I listened to this one (mostly) whereas I read the first one. So I'm not sure if that made a difference. Even though I didn't guess the killer this time I felt that the explanation for whodunit di...
In her second outing under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, author J.K. Rowling is back with her erstwhile noir private dick Cormoran Strike and a whole new mystery in the recently released Silkworm. And dare I say it? Rowling is getting better and better with each installment. Perhaps it's because...
Read the Review also on Bibliodaze Cormoran Strike is the illegitimate child of a famous rock-star who lost one leg in Afghanistan. Not exactly experiences that the majority of readers share or have an easy time imagining. Still he feels much more real and relatable than many of his colleagues tha...
If you’re anything like me, every now and then a book comes along and totally reshuffles your TBR list. This happened to me last week when I walked into Barnes & Noble (I JUST WENT IN FOR COFFEE AND TO DO SOME WRITING I SWEAR) and saw a stand of brand-new hardcovers copies of The Silkworm, basically...
