"The Silkworm is a very well-written, wonderfully entertaining take on the traditional British crime novel...

"Cormoran Strike is back, and so is his resourceful sidekick, Robin Ellacott, a gumshoe team that's on its way to becoming as celebrated for its mystery-solving skills as Nick and Nora Charles of "Tin Man" fame, and Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander (a.k.a. the girl with the dragon tattoo)."―Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

"The plot zings along... Swift and satisfying."―Carolyn Kellogg, The Los Angeles Times

"The last line of The Silkworm, which will lift the hearts of readers who have come to love its deeply sympathetic characters, offers the prospect of more of that joy both for [Robin] and for us."―Charles Finch, USA Today

"A compulsively entertaining yarn."―Entertainment Weekly

"Astutely observed, well-paced... The Silkworm thoroughly engages as a crime novel."―People

"The story is enthralling, not only for its twists and turns, but for the fun of the teamwork... [it's] a cast of characters who you'll want to meet again and again."―Time

"A swift-paced, suspenseful mystery... Robert Galbraith has announced himself a fresh voice in mystery fiction: part hard-boiled, part satiric, part poignant, and part romantic."―The Wall Street Journal
