I LOVE this series, and book #3 is my favorite so far. Robert Galbraith (AKA J.K. Rowling, which we all know by now) is such a great storyteller. This one was a bit darker, involving a serial killer who takes body parts as trophies. The whodunit part plays out nicely, and it kept me turning the pages, as did the relationship between Cormoran and Robin which continues to head into interesting waters, especially since Robin is engaged to Matthew. Both are wonderful characters. I can't wait for book #4.
