aaron_mg 's review for:

Career of Evil by Robert Galbraith
4.0

Always a good detective novel to read. Didn't enjoy this one as much as Robert's previous two. Character development isn't necessarily a detriment in this book, but there is a lot more of it than I recall from the other two. Slowed the pace of the book. Still, overall, a fun diversion to pick up and enjoy for a few days.

Also I'm reading HP to my kids. The difference in the writing style is astonishing. Quite impressed by how they bear no similarities in writing style or voice. I was hoping that like HP #3 that Career of Evil would mark a dramatic shift in the writing ability-- both of them being the third book in the series. I didn't get that impression (maybe after a few more come out I'll see it differently). But again, as always, a delight to enter into these characters and their world. If JK Rowling does anything similar its that, she cares about her characters-- even the awful ones.
