( ) Private Detective Cormorant Strike must track down a missing writer-and a sinister killer bent on destruction. When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls Strike. At first, Mrs. Quine just thinks her husband has gone off by himself for a few days-as he has done I. The past.-and she wants Strike to find him and bring him home. But as Strike investigates, he discovers thatQuine’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 I. His life would have motives to kill him. When Qui e is found brutally murdered under bizarre circumstances, Strike must find the ruthless killer. I love Cormoran and Robin but this whole book revolves around a fake book called Bombyx Mori and the contents of that book is very, very dark and creepy. It is critical to the story and rehashed often and I wished it wasn't. Otherwise it's a nice mystery. I was tricked about who the bad guy was and that's always nice.
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.

La desaparición del novelista Owen Quine no altera demasiado a su esposa, convencida de que su marido se ha marchado a pasar unos días solo, tal como ha hecho en otras ocasiones. Por ello acude al despacho del detective privado Cormoran Strike para encargarle que encuentre a su esposo y lo lleve de vuelta a casa. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
