About this ebook

A disturbing package leads Detective Cormoran Strike and his assistant Robin Ellacott to investigate four dangerous murder suspects in this "magnetic" British mystery (Michiko Kakutani, New York Times) that inspired the acclaimed HBO Max series C.B. Strike.    When Robin Ellacott opens an unexpected delivery, she is horrified to discover that it contains a woman's severed leg. Her boss, private detective Cormoran Strike, is less surprised but just as alarmed. He suspects that four people from his past could be responsible -- and any one of them is capable of sustained and unspeakable brutality. With the police focusing on the one suspect Strike has essentially ruled out, 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 . . . Career of Evil is the third in J. K. Rowling's highly acclaimed series featuring private detective Cormoran Strike and his assistant Robin Ellacott. 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.

Ratings and reviews

I love jk Rowling and couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. As much as I had wanted to love this book, sadly I was disappointed. I felt the book could have been better edited to keep up the pace. The murder details are gory as though Rowling was trying hard to shock her readers. I loved the back stories of both Robin & strike though.

I don't even have to read it to know I love it. I'm so glad JK decided to gift us with another 7 book series (and for those of you who didn't know, there are 7 books planned for Cormoran and Robin, as well as a BBC miniseries )

I really loved the previous two books, I love the characters. I can say I was a fan of the story however gory it was right in line with the previous two. However I was disappointed in some of the decisions the characters made that seemed at odds with how they were written. But I guess a strong person (or a character written as such) can't be expected to be strong and wise all the time.
