And done with it, and my above comment is pretty much how I feel about it also after finishing it.
Actually, I think I liked the first book a little more, in spite of
The Silkworm feeling a little more polished than
The Cuckoo's Calling. I don't think it was the writing; I just think the central mystery in the first book "hooked" me more. Some nice character development for both Strike and Robin in this one, though.
