"Career of evil" by Robert Galbraith aka J. K. Rowling. The book is published by Little brown book group in Oct 2015 and has 512 pages. This is Book 3 of Cormoran Strike series.
An unknown person sends a severed leg of a young girl to Strike and Robin. A lot of media attention comes their way due to Strike's fame and because he is an amputee. Strike identifies four possible suspects from his past, who may have a grudge. Body of the girl, owner of severed leg, is found. Investigation begins.
Why a leg is sent to Strike? What is the final objective? Who is behind this? Will Robin marry her long time boy friend finally? What is career of evil?
The big difference in this book, as compared to previous two, is that here the investigation becomes personal rather than professional. The answers lie in Strike's past.
The story is slow. Little happens in long stretches. Strike and Robin investigate there suspects based on Strike's hunch without an iota of evidence. Thus the book becomes a wild goose chase. It's monotonous. Readers continue to read only because they want to know who the killer is. And eventually when the killer is revealed, the clue lies in a photo.
Robin's upcoming marriage is on the verge of collapse. Why? Is there a hint of romance between Strike and Robin? Well this question remains in the minds of readers since Book 1, but again goes unanswered. In fact when the book ends, readers still wonder if Robin has married her fiancé or not. Would be clear in next book.
With every new book of the series, the quality of this series deteriorates. I have liked each next book less and less. Will I read next book of Cormoran Strike series? Probably not. Anyway, I will definitely not buy it.
Author has used titles of songs of American rock band, from 1970's, Blue Öyster cult as title of the chapters. But the relevance of the band to the story is flimsy.
I expected much more from J.K. Rowling.
Avoid.
