This is the third in a series written by J.K. Rowling using the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.
Corcoran and Robin are introduced in The Cuckoo's Calling. They were met again in The Silkworm. Now they are back for round 3.
This is I think the most grisly of the three. Robin is being hunted by a guy out to get even with Cormoran. The guy happens to be a murderer who likes to cut up women and keep souvenirs. While Robin and Cormoran are hunting the killer they uncover a child molester and encounter cops who don't want to work with them because they feel bitter about being shown up by the pair in the last 2 books.
Besides the well crafted mystery, I didn't catch the twist before the revel, this story gives up quite a bit of Cormoran's back story which was interesting and made him a more well formed character. I still don't like Robin's finance Matthew and hope he doesn't stick around for too many more books. Speaking of more books, I hope Rowling continues to write these stories.
