The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith - another great crime fiction title featuring private detective Cormoran Strike
This book kept me totally engrossed for four days of pretty solid reading.
What a great piece of crime fiction and doubly interesting for me as it is set largely in and around the London publishing scene.I loved it.
We now all know of course that Robert Galbraith is a pseudonym for J.K.Rowling, (the second title written under this name, same detective), so it is not surprising that the book (all 456 pages of it) is so compelling and entertaining. For my money she is one of the truly great contemporary authors of popular fiction and has a very bright future as a crime fiction writer.
Sphere - $37.99
