The Silkworm

The Silkworm is a really gripping read...from halfway through. When I first started reading The Silkworm, I expected a lot from it like it's predecessor, “The Cuckoo's Calling”.

There were times when the story dragged so much that I wanted to put the book down, but Galbraith has artfully managed to keep your attention drawn to the story by dropping in carious clues across the pages that make you sit up straighter in the chair with excitement.

The twist to the entire story at the end was what surprised me, as I had drawn different conclusions from the smattering of clues. Galbraith makes you keep guessing the culprit until the very end and kudos to her for that amazing piece of literary genius!

It's definitely worth a read for any mystery and suspense junkie out there.
