Career of Evil is easily the best of the 3 books in the Cormoran Strike series, and that's quite an achievement given how good the series is over all. Rowling has found her stride with this book, and crafted a clever, intricate and engrossing mystery. As ever she excels at characterisation and the backstories and day to day lives of her two protagonists are just as engaging and interesting as the main plot. She also managed to create 3 different villains that loom menacingly throughout the book, and genuinely kept my guessing until the end which one was the actual killer. Yet again she has crafted a superb page turner which draws you in to it's richly painted world and compelling story.

I cannot wait for the next book in this series and strongly recommend this series to anyone who likes high quality popular fiction.
