The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith

The Silkworm
Robert Galbraith
5/5 stars

An author is missing, and Strike is hired by his wife to locate him.  Later, he is found gruesomely murdered, exactly as described in his latest manuscript, and the wife is arrested.  Strike, convinced that she is innocent, ignores the police and does his own investigation.

Galbraith is an excellent writer (as anyone that has read the Harry Potter series can attest), and (despite my knowing the murderer early on), this was a near perfect mystery.  The character development was great, the plot was tight and interesting, and the entire story was believable.  I look forward to reading the next in this series.
