"Hugely entertaining . . . This gifted storyteller has taken full command of the new turf. . . . Career of Evil succeeds powerfully on its own terms."-- Lloyd Sachs , Chicago Tribune, Praise for The Silkworm : " THE SILKWORM is a very well-written, wonderfully entertaining take on the traditional British crime novel....Robert Galbraith may proudly join the ranks of English, Scottish and Irish crime writers such as Tana French, Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, John Connolly, Kate Atkinson, and Peter Robinson." -- -Harlan Coben, New York Times Book Review, "Another triumph . . . Its darkness is mitigated by its sparkling protagonists."-- Kim Hubbard , People, "As readable and exciting as ever . . . Fans of the intrepid duo are in for some shocks."-- Jake Kerridge , Telegraph [UK], "A refreshing change to the genre . . . Every bit as impressive as [ The Cuckoo's Calling ] . . . Let's hope the sardonic Cormoran Strike is here to stay."-- Barry Forshaw , Independent [UK], "Satisfying . . . Strike and Robin are as powerful a fictional pairing as any in recent memory. . . . Galbraith demonstrates a breezy command of the intricacies of both the central mystery and of the form itself."-- Robert Wiersema , Toronto Star, "An entertaining novel . . . The denouement is violent, unexpected and satisfying."-- Marcel Berlins , The Times [UK], " Career of Evil is the third--and best--novel in the engaging Cormoran Strike private detective series. . . . [Galbraith has] invented a serial killer for the ages, one who chills us from the book's grim but riveting opening. . . . This perfectly paced mystery is packed with surprises, all of which play out with flawless crime-fiction logic."-- Jocelyn McClurg , USA Today (4/4 stars), "Gripping . . . A step forward for the series . . . An absorbing book, pulpy, fast and satisfying."-- Charles Finch , New York Times Book Review, "Bloody good . . . The author's trademark plotting has lost none of its propulsive readability."-- Daneet Steffens , Boston Globe, "Pure pleasure. . . . That's what makes these novels so good: They are clever, tightly plotted mysteries with all of the most pleasurable elements of the genre (good guy, bad guy, clues, twists, murder!), but with stunning emotional and moral shading."-- Annalisa Quinn , NPR
