Review: Career of Evil

Career of Evil by Robert Galbraith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another cracking story from Galbraith/Rowling, extending the relationship between private investigator Cormoran Strike and his secretary/partner Robin Ellacott to new boundaries, as both are entwined in a serial killer's plot to do away with both of them in different manners for different reasons.
Rowling's writing and narrative is just superb. Her ability to flesh out her characters, to keep the several strings of the story flowing without interrupting the story as a whole, and to give enough clues as to the finale of the book without giving it away completely is just magnificent.
In Cormoran Strike we have a wonderful modern detective, and in Robin we have the perfect foil. I hope there are many more of these books to come, because they keep getting better.
