The second book in the series (“The Silkworm”) was also good, but there was less of Robin -- and I missed her presence. In this third book (“Career of Evil”), the book is as much about Robin as it is about Cormoran – which is pretty amazing given that all the main suspects were enemies from Cormoran’s past.So I should have liked this book best. But despite her occasional flashes of cleverness, resourcefulness and determination, Robin mostly came across as fretful about her job and wishy-washy about her personal relationships. And Cormoran, in trying to investigate multiple suspects all at the same time, kept getting described as tired or exhausted.The whole plot of this book seems more personal than the other two books as the antagonist’s targets are Cormoran and Robin. So to the extent the reader likes the Cormoran and Robin characters, the reader’s concern is greater and so the tension is higher, too. But I wanted to enjoy these two characters and their sleuthing (rather than mostly fear for their safety). So this wasn’t the right book for me.But who am I kidding. We all know who the author is. So if you read the first two books, you’ll probably read this one too. And now there’s a fourth book in the series (“Lethal White”) – and I’ll probably read that one too (though not right away). ### ⭐⭐ Trite and tiresome with revolting violence. *by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2018* I agree with the 1- and 2-star reviews for this book which commented that this book is far too long, not particularly interesting, and has far too much disturbing content and violence. It is also trite in terms of the boss and secretary dynamic and tiresome in the constant harping on the personalities of Strike and Robyn, the two detective protagonists. Strike is unpleasant and boring, I got quite tired of being constantly told that he lay on his bed in his underwear and scratched his hairy stomach; Robyn is supposed to be intelligent and spunky but comes across as whiny and immature ("but I want to be a detective"). In case we negatively judge her, we are told of a tragic backstory that is supposed to add depth and explain her character but yet seems to have left no mark on Robyn's vapid personality. It really does not ring true nor is there anything in her behaviour or her boyfriend's behaviour in any of the previous books (or this one for that matter) that foreshadowed what should have been a life altering event that would have left a huge and indelible mark on her life. This backstory seems to have been a spur of the moment invention on the author's part to elicit sympathy regardless of whether it makes sense in terms of Robyn's behaviour or of that of her family and fiance toward her.As for the plot--I usually manage to finish most books but simply could not keep reading this one. It was too tedious. The lead characters were so predictable, the suspects so cardboard, the crime details so gross, that I really had no interest in keeping on reading about any of it. I really didn't care who the murderer was. The victim didn't seem to feature at all, but was an after thought. Strike and Robyn were dull and duller, and the book was overly long and repetitive with no thread running through it to keep one's interest. Perhaps the only thread was whether Robyn would actually marry her fiance, whom we are supposed to hate for some reason even though he is less manipulative and exploitative of others than Strike who we are supposed to admire for being such a maverick and for having turned down his famous father's money. Yawn.... Wont read any more of these. ### ⭐ I tried *by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2018* In a nutshell, The duo gets sent a severed leg, assemble a list of suspects and work down the list until they find the person responsible. And just to give an idea of how slow the freaking pace is in this book, I got nearly 25% into the book before Strike even starts investigating the first suspect. And up until that point, It's really just filler involving Strike's history with his step-dad and Robin still dealing with the wedding. It's boring, Nothing really happens and it just fails to keep you even remotely interested.And I will say that I found Robin's college backstory in really bad taste. Such a pointless addition and IDK if it was an attempt to make us more sympathetic with her or whatever but it was just distasteful. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/27423852-career-of-evil](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/27423852-career-of-evil) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
