Career of Evil by Robert Galbraith
4.0

Career of Evil is the third book in the Cormoran Strike series and this time around, Cormoran and his assistant/partner Robin are sent a woman's severed leg in the mail. As the two of them try and solve the case, they're pulled together and apart and walk further into danger.

I really liked this one, as always. I love Cormoran, he is most definitely a muggle version of Mad-Eye Moody and what's not to love about that. I liked his continued platonic relationship with Robin and her character development and confidence in herself. It was great seeing more about both the character's past. Robin did annoy me sometimes with how she was going off by herself and not really listening to Cormoran. I also hate her relationship with Matthew and can't see it going anywhere good .
I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE MARRIED HIM!!! WHY WHY WHY!


This book was much darker than the other two in my opinion. Some of the chapters were so twisted and the murderer's voice was so disturbing I had some trouble reading at times. I couldn't continue on to the next chapter all the time and had to give myself a bit of time before I was ready to move on. I definitely went back and forth with who the murderer was and I was surprised with the verdict in the end but of course, it was great seeing Cormoran put everything together and explain it in the end.

I can't wait for the next book in the series!
