The Cuckoo's Calling |
What's in a name? Everything it seems when selling books. Published under a pseudonym, this detective novel enjoyed a modest success until it was revealed that J K Rowling was the author, when overnight it became a best seller. Interrupted half way through, I found it hard to get the enthusiasm to pick it up again. I loved her Harry Potter world and wish Rowling did not feel pressured into writing grown-up novels, when her own genre is so appealing. (Jenny Baker - bwl 70 Autumn 2013) |

The Silkworm |
This is the second Cormoran Strike novel by Robert Galbraith aka J. K. Rowling. As with the first it is a very competent, thoroughly enjoyable detective novel of the traditional variety. The plot is convoluted and is set in the world of publishing, involving the death of a rather nasty author. While there is nothing particularly original, with good characters and an intriguing murder, this is one for the summer break. (Ferelith Hordon - bwl 73 Summer 2014) |
