I'd like it better if there were more of Robin, I think. And I'd like it a lot better if the two of them would stop miscommunicating. And I'd really like it better if the murder (and the novel it is based on) were less ridiculously gruesome.

I'll likely finish it. But it won't make me in any hurry to buy the next one.
It's getting better. I took a break from it to finish off Like a Mighty Army, the most recent of the Safehold books from David Weber. I definitely liked it better than the couple before, I suspect at least in part because the Audible reader was back to the original for the series. This was a mixed read/listen book.

Silkworm, OTOH, is settling down to be more interesting. There's less of the detail about the goriness of the crime, and more about the who and how of it.

On a completely different note, I've started rereading the Dorothy Sayers Lord Peter Wimsey books, beginning with the first novel, Whose Body?. What a delight these are. Some of them I'm going to read in eBook, but some I'll read as Audible books, especially where I can get ones read by Nadia May (aka Donata Peters, aka Wanda McCaddon). I'm already totally immersed in the book, and enjoying it immensely.
