DESCRIPTION:
Less Cowbell JB Another good addition to the series. There's a lot to like about Career of Evil but, unfortunately, a few major shortcomings. Without spoiling anything, this time out our hero is trying to nab a serial killer with a taste for dismemberment. It might be one of three suspects Strike has a history with, or perhaps another unknown killer. The plot has been detailed by others at length, so I'll just offer some thoughts about the pluses and minuses:The Good: - Robin, one of the most interesting and likable characters JKR has ever created, co-stars in the novel . disappointing JK Rowling is one of our most gifted contemporary writers but this book sags under the weight of too many words. It took me 200 pages to get into it. The only thing that prevented me from pulling the bookmark was that its JK Rowling. A book by any other author would not get that many chances from me. The mystery was mild, the chapters too short and the Blue Oyster Cult quotes annoying,. Robin's story was compelling and by far the best part of the book, she is a great character. Because of Robin I will buy the next one but I wish JK would tighten up her Co. Not as good as the first two Be prepared to be really pissed off for hours on end and then have no release for your troubles. I'm angry.Is it worth reading? Of course. But I'm still pissed off.The third book to the Cormoran Strike novels has been at the top of my TBR list since the moment I finished The Silk Worm. I preordered a copy over six months ago and couldn't believe it was finally in my hands last week. I pushed aside all my other books begging to be read and devoted all my free time to Cormoran Strike and his savvy side kick Robin and whatever whirlwind adventure they cooked
But as more horrendous acts occur, time is running out for the two of themCareer of Evil is the third in the highly acclaimed series featuring private detective Cormoran Strike and his assistant Robin Ellacott. . 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. 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. A fiendishly clever mystery with unexpected twists around every corner, it is also a gripping story of a man and a woman at a crossroads in their personal and professional lives
Galbraith has invented a serial killer for the ages, one who chills us from the book's grim but riveting opening. "Career of Evil is the third--and best--novel in the engaging Cormoran Strike private detective series. This perfectly paced mystery is packed with surprises, all of which play out with flawless crime-fiction logic."Jocelyn McClurg, USA Today (4/4 stars)
