小说家欧文·奎因失踪,他的妻子造访私人侦探科莫兰·斯特莱克。开始,她认为丈夫只是像以前一样,离家出走几天。她请斯特莱克找到丈夫,把他带回家。

但斯特莱克调查后发现,奎因的失踪并不那么简单。奎因刚刚完成一部作品,这本书几乎恶毒地描绘了他认识的所有人。这部小说如果出版,将会毁掉很多人的生活,所以肯定有很多人想让他闭嘴。

斯特莱克很快发现奎因已经死亡,死状离奇恐怖。斯特莱克必须与时间赛跑,尽快查明残忍凶手的身份和动机。这个凶手和他以前遇到过的任何一个杀人者都不同……

《蚕》情节百转千回,引人入胜,是备受称赞的科莫兰·斯特莱克推理系列第二部。

I really enjoyed Cormoran and Robin. He's got some annoying hangups, but he is obviously lovable. I love him because he hates Christmas (like I do). But he's also a jerk to people who are nice to him. Do better, Cormoran.
I love Robin, but she is a Mary Sue. Perhaps some readers think that good authors don't write those. But they do.

I really did not enjoy the author's making the bad guy monstrous. Again. Rowling, psychopaths exist, but they are rare. The worst atrocities in the world are overwhelmingly committed by ordinary human people. You sort of got it right when you wrote about the Death Eaters. Probably because you based them on a real group - Nazis. They were Death Eaters even during Voldemort's absent years, because they had created social norms that made their deeds normal.
Social norms like these are the reason that soldiers kill. …

Thoroughly enjoyed this second effort by JK Rowling (writing under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith). She's a gifted writer -- as much as I enjoyed the Harry Potter series, I never realized how artfully she can describe a scene. My favorite moments are the things she doesn't write, that reward the reader who's reading closely with a discovery that's hinted at but not spelled out.

Great whodunnit, fun read.

Even better than the first! I really like the characters. In fact, I think that I enjoyed the book so much because the audiobook narrator did such a fantastic job. Thankfully, not many people at my local library listen to audiobooks, so I can usually get popular ones quite quickly.
