In 2013, the audiobook of The Cuckoo’s Calling by as-yet-unknown author Robert Galbraith, shot to number one. It was only after the book made a successful debut in its own right that the world discovered that Robert Galbraith was actually J.K. Rowling. Rowling, writing as Galbraith, is now back with The Silkworm, the second installment of the acclaimed Cormoran Strike series. This time, Strike is on the case of a missing author, whose latest manuscript is so filled with violence and thinly-veiled references to those around him, it’s been deemed “unpublishable”. There may be none of the magic of the Harry Potter novels, but the suspense, twists, and details are all still there.
Listen to a clip from the beginning of The Silkworm.
