The Silkworm, Galbraith - B

                                               I'm not sure why I fell for the second in the new series about Cormoran Strike,  J.K. Rowling's rather odd private detective.  In this one, we delve into the publishing world and the gruesome end of a crazed writer. He is 'done in' in a manner set forth in his as of yet unpublished, and obviously final book.  I'm not sure what it is about Strike, but he is not as appealing or interesting as most of the usual British investigators, public or private.  Here, he once again out foxes the police and applies some of his eccentric genius in what I have to admit is a rousing finish. The Times reviewer  (a fellow bestselling author) suggests that the series could be as successful as some of the big ones in the UK - but, I have my doubts
