Now a major BBC drama: The Strike series

When a mysterious package is delivered to Robin Ellacott, she is horrified to discover that it contains a woman's severed leg.

Her boss, private detective Cormoran Strike, is less surprised but no less alarmed. There are four people from his past who he thinks could be responsible - and Strike knows that any one of them is capable of sustained and unspeakable brutality.

With the police focusing on the one suspect Strike is increasingly sure is not the perpetrator, he and Robin take matters into their own hands, and delve into the dark and twisted worlds of the other three men. But as more horrendous acts occur, time is running out for the two of them...

A fiendishly clever mystery with unexpected twists around every corner, Career of Evil is also a gripping story of a man and a woman at a crossroads in their personal and professional lives. You will not be able to put this book down.

*** The latest book in the thrilling Strike series, LETHAL WHITE is out now! ***

The Best Cormoron Strike yet

This 3rd novel is the most enthralling yet - kerps you guessing until the end.

This series keeps going strong

Better than the 2nd book and perhaps even the 1st, these characters are now firmly entrenched in my own literary firmament. This story was wonderfully intricate and a fast-paced romp of a mystery. I eagerly look forward to the next...

no i enjoy a daily treat of listening to a very good book

Any additional comments?

the reader is a well known and excellent actor whose skill enhanced an enjoyable listening experience

Good but not the best

A 3.5 stars for the book. It was good as expected but a little stretched to an extent that somewhere in the middle I started losing interest. I did not feel disinterested anywhere with first two books of the series. In the end 'The Silkworm' still remains my favourite of the Cormoran Strike series.

Brilliant

Definitely worth every second, the narrator has a wonderful voice that just blends well no matter what character he's portraying!
