sararene 's review for:

Career of Evil by Robert Galbraith
4.5
dark mysterious tense fast-paced

Career of Evil is definitely my favorite of the series so far, though unfortunately it still suffers from the same trend of the first hundred or so pages being dull as paint drying. I'm really enjoying getting to dig into the meat of the main characters and their lives outside of the main case of the book. I do love a slow burn romance and am warming up more and more to the idea of Strike and Robin, even if I'll admit I didn't really like the idea in the first two books. I didn't think Matthew was as bad as the book wanted the reader to think he was... until the end of this one. What he did was unforgivable. What an ass. Much more excited for the next in the series but damn can we please skip the boring endless interlude next time? I'm not optimistic...
