JK Rowling, as Robert Galbraith, doesn't pull any punches. Either I'm getting used to the gore or it wasn't as strong as the second book as I only gagged once instead of the three times for Silkworm.

If you dive into any of Robert Galbraith's titles, don't read them: get the audiobooks. Seriously, just go with the audiobooks. Robert Glenister's narration is perfection. All of the various GB accents are done perfectly and with great respect. If you do listen to the audio don't be surprised if you find yourself yelling at the characters, especially during tense moments.
