The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith
With the recent release and popularity of the Comoran Strike series on BBC, it has skyrocketed this book into many hands. Written by J.K Rowling under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, the gripping crime thriller has us all on the edge of our seats. In the second installment, a novelist goes missing and his wife calls in Comoran Strike to solve the case. His wife just thinks the novelist has wandered off, (he has done that before) and she just wants him to come home. As Strike investigates, it becomes increasingly clear that there is more to this disappearance than initially thought. The novelist has written a manuscript full of poisonous pen-portraits of almost everyone he knows, if it were to be published it would be damaging to many lives. Compulsive and gripping it has twists at every turn the perfect book to settle down with a tea and an Autumnal candle.
