Hello all,
I just finished reading The Silkworm and found out who the killer was. As I was reading I kept thinking back and trying to remember if I could connect the dots like Strike did and figure out who the killer was along with him. I then started wandering had I looked up who the killer was online before I started reading the book, would it have been possible to pick up the clues.
Did you ever do that, find out the solution to a murder mystery book before reading it just to see if you could pick up on the clues?
Lots of readers figure out the killer on this second book. There are some clues that are easier to “click”, unlike the other mysteries in this series. For me, it was the strong acidic smell on the crime scene, which I knew could give someone respiratory problems, at least for a while.
The tough thing to figure out is the book, though.
