In the case of “The Silkworm,” it’s clear that two narrow genres of literature have been the source of inspiration: the old-fashioned detective story with its careful parsing of evidence; and the Jacobean play, renowned for its biting satire and dark fascination with betrayal and revenge, death and cruelty and corruption.

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, it becomes clear that there is more to Quine's disappearance than his wife realizes. The novelist has just completed a manuscript featuring poisonous pen-portraits of almost everyone he knows. If the novel were to be published, it would ruin lives--meaning that there are a lot of people who might want him silenced. When Quine is found brutally murdered under bizarre circumstances, it becomes a race against time to understand the motivation of a ruthless killer, a killer unlike any Strike has encountered before.

The plot was a bit complicated and I had to keep referring back to the synopsis of "Bombyxx Mori" to try to keep things straight. There were slightly too many male characters who had something to do with publishing and I was only just beginning to get them straight by the end. On that note, what purpose does the character of Christian Fisher serve? (I would have edited him out).
The last few chapters where Cormoran and Robin knew who did it, but didn't tell the reader and therefore had to have very cryptic dialogue was not ideal. Still, lots of fun and I think I am going to get the audiobook and listen to it again. ( )
