I like the characters. They are actually more interesting than the plot. ( )

I really enjoyed The Cuckoo's Calling, even though I'm not a big fan of the mystery genre. The Silkworm is even better! Wonderfully written as always by J.K. Rowling, and I love that you know, but you don't know, what's going to happen at the end. Loved it! ( )

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. ( )
