Resumen del Editor

Winner of the 2016 Audie Mystery Award

Now a major BBC drama as part of the Cormoran 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 whom 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 switch this audiobook off.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Teems with sly humour, witty asides and intelligence... A pleasure to read." ( The Times on The Silkworm)

"Huge credit is due to Galbraith in portraying [Strike] so vividly.... Galbraith has pulled off a thoroughly enjoyable classic and I'm already looking forward to Strike's next outing." (Peter James, Sunday Express on The Silkworm)

" The Cuckoo's Calling reminds me why I fell in love with crime fiction in the first place." (Val McDermid on The Cuckoo's Calling)

"The novel is the work of a master storyteller." ( Daily Telegraph on The Cuckoo's Calling)

Wonderful!

I enjoyed this series very much and am quite upset that there are no more books to follow. I listened to all 3 in a row. Robert Glenister was absolutely fabulous as the narrator. Please write more of them !

Superb narrator

Not only a well told story by the author, but also by the narrator. This is the best narration I have come across in the 12 years I have been an Audible member. Every character (including the females) has a fitting voice, that is consistently kept. It is almost a course in acting. You hear the character saying something with some sort of emotion and afterwards the narrator also reads the author's description of it (" he said angrily, ..softly,...with a broken voice"). Fantastic.

Loved it

Incredible book as usual from JK Rowling. Loved every minute of it. cant wait for te next one

Brilliant

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

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.

Good but far from the 2 first boks.

It is a good book, unnerving and lots of suspense but I found the relationship between Robin and Strike exagerated a little silly. I really dont understand why they workshop to getter anymore. I also was not very keen on the "ripper" story. To much gore and hate for my taste and the theme is "old".

Great job by the narrator. ..

can't get enough of Cormoran Strike!

I feel so connected to the characters in this gripping novel. Would listen to this any chance I got. The suspects start to blur in this edition so it was a bit harder to follow, but still excellent. Genuinely hope there is a fourth book!

Intro !!

This was so exhilarating! From the start I was hooked . Really pleased with the series thus far and this was by far the best book yet

The Best Cormoron Strike yet

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