Review - CAREER OF EVIL, Robert Galbraith
Having been a fan of the first book in the Cormoran Strike series, CAREER OF EVIL arrived to some anticipation, and a bit of panic as the second book was still on the unread pile despite the strongest feeling that it had been read. Reading them sequentially seemed like a serendipitous event, although the outcome was somewhat less expected.
When a mysterious package is delivered to Robin Ellacott, she is horrified to discover that it contains a woman's severed leg.

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...
