J.K. Rowling admits 'The Silkworm' crime novel better than 'The Cuckoo's Calling'
J.K. Rowling, in signed note to Jade Olivia below, admitted that she believed The Silkworm, the second mystery novel she wrote under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, was actually better than the first book in the series, The Cuckoo's Calling.
Olivia, who played Astoria Malfoy in the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows epilogue (and longtime girlfriend of Tom Felton), updated her official Instagram with the following note from the Harry Potter author. <blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version="4" style=" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><div style="padding:8px;"> <div style=" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"> <div style=" background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAA pWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr +JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgM hCAQBAf//42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YY XFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhL w7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zz gKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nY FnB/lQPb79drWOyJVa/DAvg9B/rLB4cC+Nqgdz/TvBbBnr6GBReqn/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I/fZou/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"></div></div> <p style=" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;"> <a href="https://instagram.com/p/1uqw1cAiUQ/" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_top">Time to delve in to the Silkworm.

The Galbraith Strike novels have been confirmed to be adapted as a television series for BBC One. No word yet on casting or when production will begin. Rowling is currently working on the third book in the Galbraith crime novel series, focusing on detective Cormoran Strike.
Also, J.K. Rowling attended a fundraiser in New York City the week she was over to promote the U.S. sector of her charity organisation Lumos.
