Reviews
"Hugely entertaining . . . This gifted storyteller has taken full command of the new turf. . . . Career of Evil succeeds powerfully on its own terms."-- Lloyd Sachs , Chicago Tribune, Praise for The Silkworm : " THE SILKWORM is a very well-written, wonderfully entertaining take on the traditional British crime novel....Robert Galbraith may proudly join the ranks of English, Scottish and Irish crime writers such as Tana French, Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, John Connolly, Kate Atkinson, and Peter Robinson." -- -Harlan Coben, New York Times Book Review, "Another triumph . . . Its darkness is mitigated by its sparkling protagonists."-- Kim Hubbard , People, "As readable and exciting as ever . . . Fans of the intrepid duo are in for some shocks."-- Jake Kerridge , Telegraph [UK], "A refreshing change to the genre . . . Every bit as impressive as [ The Cuckoo's Calling ] . . . Let's hope the sardonic Cormoran Strike is here to stay."-- Barry Forshaw , Independent [UK], "Satisfying . . . Strike and Robin are as powerful a fictional pairing as any in recent memory. . . . Galbraith demonstrates a breezy command of the intricacies of both the central mystery and of the form itself."-- Robert Wiersema , Toronto Star, "An entertaining novel . . . The denouement is violent, unexpected and satisfying."-- Marcel Berlins , The Times [UK], " Career of Evil is the third--and best--novel in the engaging Cormoran Strike private detective series. . . . [Galbraith has] invented a serial killer for the ages, one who chills us from the book's grim but riveting opening. . . . 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), "Gripping . . . A step forward for the series . . . An absorbing book, pulpy, fast and satisfying."-- Charles Finch , New York Times Book Review, "Bloody good . . . The author's trademark plotting has lost none of its propulsive readability."-- Daneet Steffens , Boston Globe, "Pure pleasure. . . . That's what makes these novels so good: They are clever, tightly plotted mysteries with all of the most pleasurable elements of the genre (good guy, bad guy, clues, twists, murder!), but with stunning emotional and moral shading."-- Annalisa Quinn , NPR

Synopsis
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... Career of Evil is the third in the highly acclaimed series featuring private detective Cormoran Strike and his assistant Robin Ellacott. 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., 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.

    Sam accepted an offer for a lower price than he was asking for a Disney lunchbox. It was a fair price. He packaged it with more padding than I would have expected and sent it off immediately. It came in the condition that he described. He even included a personal note for me. It was a pleasure buying from him.

    Lovely seller, 1 of the mugs as broken when I received it, although packaged very well. I sent a picture to the seller, and she handled it very professionally and refunded 1/2 of the sale as I wanted to keep the other mug. Highly recommend this seller for her integrity!

    Cormoran Strike saves the day again

    If you appreciate a good detective yarn, this series can't be beat. Highly recommended from the author of the Harry Potter series. If you like the show, you'll definitely love the added detail the books provide to flesh out the stories. A fun read.

    Police ban Cormoran; Robin married?

    Good story lines. The central plot is gruesome, and too close to the main characters, both of whom end up attacked, and their business hits bottom. There are many suspects, and even Strike misses a vital clue, until it's too late for some, but the police won't take his calls, ban him from investigating further on threat of charges of interfering in police business, and of ruining his business, so Strike must find the killer, and the proof, while his partner gets married.

    Great Series

    I love this whole series. Now it is a tv movie series. The books are better but the show is fun to watch after reading it. I'll read the next books to come.

    Great plot, characters, and writing—just what you’d expect from Rowling!

    The Cormoran Strike books by J.K. Rowling, writing under the pen name of Robert Galbraith, are marvelous. She has managed to create a very different, compelling detective with an equally engaging sidekick. I’ve read all four in the series and I hope there will be many more. Rowling creates intricate and engrossing plots for her mysteries and her character development is truly impressive. I highly recommend all of them.
