In this "wonderfully entertaining" mystery (Harlan Coben, The New York Times Book Review), private investigator Cormoran Strike must track down a missing writer -- and a sinister killer bent on destruction. When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective Cormoran Strike. At first, Mrs. Quine just thinks her husband has gone off by himself for a few days -- as he has done before -- and she wants Strike to find him and bring him home.But as Strike investigates, he discovers that Quine's disappearance is no coincidence. The novelist has just completed a manuscript featuring poisonous pen-portraits of almost everyone he knows. If the novel were published, it would ruin lives -- meaning that almost everyone in his life would have motives to silence him.
When Quine is found brutally murdered under bizarre circumstances, Strike must race against time to understand the motivation of a ruthless killer, a killer unlike any he has encountered before . . .
A compulsively readable crime novel with twists at every turn, The Silkworm is the second in J. K. Rowling's highly acclaimed series featuring Cormoran Strike and his determined young assistant, Robin Ellacott.

Great for mental stimulation.
Great for mental stimulation. Our little guy figures them out pretty quickly. He is very treat motivated. This one is excellent as sn activity to slow him down from gobbling his treats up so quickly.

Best for small inquisitive dogs
This dog puzzle worked.for.abput a day until our lab decided it was easier to just chew on it until it gave up the treats. The outer ring of yellow sliders were good.but the red required interactive manipulation of the center sections that only frustrated our lab to the point where she just picked it up to chew and drop until it gave up the treats. Great idea, but not for a brute-force attack! I will say the plastic sliders have held up longer than expected but in the end our lab just had fun chewing it while carrying across the yard. She did enjoy it initially but I think grew bored or maybe frustrated with it. Probably best left to smaller breeds to fidget with.

Good intermediate smart toy
This has become one of my puppy's favorite boy's. He is so smart and flustered through the beginning interactive toys quick. I got him this one next. The design is good. He did get through some ok, but got frustrated early with the harder ones. Started flipping and chewing it. It wasnt easy to chew through but did snap a few hinges. Stubborn dog, but still enjoying it. . It moves easily and does stimulate him to think.
Great toy especially for smart dogs. Mine is just too impatient and growls at it.
