"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."-- "USA Today (4/4 stars)"
"Another triumph...Its darkness is mitigated by its sparkling
protagonists."-- "People"
"As readable and exciting as ever...Fans of the intrepid duo are in
for some shocks."-- "Telegraph (London)"
"Her gripping third novel...achieves a new candor about the gap
between solving crimes and repairing their damages...an absorbing
book, pulpy, fast, and satisfying."-- "New York Times Book
Review"
"Hugely entertaining."-- "Chicago Tribune"
"Maintaining a high level of suspense throughout, Rowling
transforms Robin into a professional equal of Strike's and sets the
stage for further complexities in their relationship in the next
book."-- "Publishers Weekly"
"Robert Glenister is the man in this fine performance of Robert
Galbraith's most recent detective thriller. Having narrated the
first two books in the series, Glenister knows the main
characters...The real-life pacing and vocal differences between the
rough-hewn, older Strike and the younger Ellacott bring their
scenes particularly to life. And Glenister's use of a flattened,
even tone for the sections that take place inside the mind of the
killer adds chillingly to the tension. Winner of the AudioFile
Earphones Award."-- "AudioFile"
"Rowling's writing is velvety and fluid, making the book pure
pleasure...Clever, tightly plotted mysteries with all of the most
pleasurable elements of the genre...but with stunning emotional and
moral shading."-- "NPR"
"Sparklingly witty [and] unexpectedly moving."-- "Seattle
Times"
"The book ends on a cliffhanger worthy of Harry Potter, and
Rowling's readers will eagerly await the next installment."--
"Kirkus Reviews"
