This Cormoran Strike installment was nothing short of disturbing. I had nightmares the first night after starting it - my sleeping self was convinced that I was inevitably going to be kidnapped and chopped up by a psychopath. Which is the general gist of Career of Evil - some mystery psycho wants to screw Strike over by entangling him in a serial killer's web. 
 Throw into the mix that the psycho has a fixation on cutting up Robin and the stakes feel a lot higher in this one. Galbraith reveals more about the duo's backstory, especially Robin's, as they race to find the murderer before he strikes again. Their potential romance also hangs in the balance as Robin's wedding looms nearer....can we all just agree that Matthew is the worst? Come on, Robin, you deserve so much better! 
 Another solid JKR work. We are so blessed to have such a wonderfully creative (albeit sick and twisted) mind to tell us stories.
