Writing under the name of Robert Galbraith, she is about to release the second book in this new series. The Silkworm (Cormoran Strike #2) Detective Cormoran Strike returns to action in this successor to The Cuckoo's Calling -- a book that shot to #1 on the bestseller list last summer after it was revealed to have been written by J.K. Rowling. Sure to be one of this summer's biggest books, The Silkworm is available to pre-order now. Available 6/19/2014 List Price $28.00 Online Price: $20.72 (Barnes and Noble price)

(small spoiler) I think one of the reasons the Robert Galbraith books aren't more anticipated is that Rowling has not really defined her on-going character as well as she might have. Maybe The Silkworm will correct that and make Cormoran Strike a star. In A Cuckoo's Calling, he is rather unappealing and decidedly unattractive for a good part of the book ... until she decides to be generous and let us in on some of the more personal and positive things about him. I'm still not really won over, but shall give this one a try in hopes she'll do better.
