Reseas:

Cormoran Strike ha vuelto, y con l, su fiel y sagaz ayudante Robin Ellacott: una pareja destinada a convertirse en un referente del gnero. Un festn de entretenimiento. -The New York Times

La historia es adictiva, especialmente por sus protagonistas, la pareja que forman Cormoran y Robin, con los que no te importara cruzarte una y otra vez. -Time

Astuta, bien construida, mordaz, ingeniosa, El gusano de seda es una novela negra que fascina. -People DESCRIPTION IN ENGLISH In this "wonderfully entertaining" mystery (Harlan Coben, The New York Times Book Review), private investigator Cormoran Strike must track down a missing writer -- and a sinister killer bent on destruction. When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective Cormoran Strike. At first, Mrs. Quine just thinks her husband 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, he discovers that Quine's disappearance is no coincidence. 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 -- meaning that almost everyone in his life would have motives to silence him. When Quine is found brutally murdered under bizarre circumstances, Strike must 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 J. K. Rowling's highly acclaimed series featuring Cormoran Strike and his determined young assistant, Robin Ellacott.
