In this "wonderfully entertaining" mystery (Harlan Coben, The New York Times Book Review), private investigator Cormoran Strike must track down a missing writer -- and a sinister killer bent on destruction.

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, he discovers that Quine'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 in his life would have motives to silence him.
When Quine is found brutally murdered under bizarre circumstances, Strike must race against time to understand the motivation of a ruthless killer, a killer unlike any he has encountered before . . .
A compulsively readable crime novel with twists at every turn, The Silkworm is the second in J. K. Rowling's highly acclaimed series featuring Cormoran Strike and his determined young assistant, Robin Ellacott.

Cool, Compact and Convenient !
Style: Standard, Color: Olive
I really love these PocBuds earbuds...they sound robust and the case is a charging case which is very convenient and compact. I love that I can wear just one at a time while the other stays charged. That way I can listen to my music or podcasts while I walk or cook. The color is a rich, camo green which is one of my favorite color shades of green. I highly recommend and God bless❣️ John 3:16

Good Product But May Not Be For Everyone
Style: Standard, Color: Olive
The look exactly as pictured and described and they’re very nice. Even the small buds feel a bit big for my ears but they fit snug enough to not have to worry about them falling out. They’re relatively comfortable but I haven’t had a change to wear them for long. Either way they seem very much able to stay in your ears. There’s not a lot of adjustability to the ear cuff portion and if you have long hair it’s harder to get them in and they get caught and they to go through your hair. It took me some getting used to on how to put them comfortably but once they’re in they’re very secure. They along with their charging case charge fast and hold charge well. The display telling you percentage is great and the controls seem to be very easy. They’re not great for noise cancelling but I knew that before purchasing because I read the other reviews. Honestly it’s not like you can hear EVEURHING especially if the audio is on but that’s great, especially if you end up using them in public because you’ll be able to pay closer attention to your surroundings. It may not be good if you can’t focus with bleed through noise but just about everything has its trade offs. Overall it’s a very nice product ESPECIALLY for the price. I don’t like scanning QR codes personally so I haven’t registered yet but they do also include a 5 year extended warranty if you feel so inclined.

Excellent blazer!
Size: X-Large, Color: Dark Grey
Very nice fabric. Comfortable throughout chest arms and waist. Very nice shade of grey that goes with everything! Fit was perfect. It claims to be washable but I prefer dry cleaning. All Stitching is hidden and it is fully lined. I wear blazers daily for work and this one is great especially for the price.

Perfect fit for a medium build 5ft 6
Size: Medium, Color: Light Grey
I am happy with this grey color Blazer. The fit is spot on- I am 5’6” medium build, and it fits comfortably without feeling too tight or too loose. The material feels high quality and has a nice weight into it. Making it look more premium than expected. It’s also very comfortable to wear for extended periods, whether for work or going out. Overall great value and a solid addition to my wardrobe. Would definitely recommend!

Great jacket!
Size: 4X-Large, Color: Dark Blue
Nice jacket for warmer weather, very comfortable, fit me well. I'm a big guy and wear a 54 regular in tailored sport coats. The 4XL fit nearly identical to a 54 regular. Adds some class to a nice outfit without making it formal, which is exactly what I was looking for.
