'Deliriously clever' GUARDIAN

Now a major BBC drama: The Strike series
When a mysterious package is delivered to Robin Ellacott, she is horrified to discover that it contains a woman's severed leg.
Her boss, private detective Cormoran Strike, is less surprised but no less alarmed. There are four people from his past who he thinks could be responsible - and Strike knows that any one of them is capable of sustained and unspeakable brutality.
With the police focusing on the one suspect Strike is increasingly sure is not the perpetrator, he and Robin take matters into their own hands, and delve into the dark and twisted worlds of the other three men. But as more horrendous acts occur, time is running out for the two of them...
A fiendishly clever mystery with unexpected twists around every corner, Career of Evil is also a gripping story of a man and a woman at a crossroads in their personal and professional lives. You will not be able to put this book down.
*** The latest book in the thrilling Strike series, TROUBLED BLOOD, is out now! ***

Still a mostly enjoyable read, but did not live up to the high standard set by the first two books. The ending especially was quite lackluster.

Can't get used to such strong language from JKR. I don't remember the television series being quite so salty. Nonetheless a well crafted page turner

Really impressed. Enjoyed the book immensely. The characters were really well drawn. You became invested in them. Shouldn't be surprised really when you consider who the author is. Well worth a read a fast moving thriller!
