Career of Evil

When a mysterious package is delivered to Robin Ellacott, she is horrified to discover that it contains a woman's severed leg. Her boss, private detective Cormoran Strike, is less surprised but no less alarmed. There are four people from his past who he thinks could be responsible - and Strike knows that any one of them is capable of sustained and unspeakable brutality. With the police focusing on the one suspect Strike is increasingly sure is not the perpetrator, he and Robin take matters into their own hands, and delve into the dark and twisted worlds of the other three men. But as more horrendous acts occur, time is running out for the two of them.

Väldigt spännande bok. BBC har gjort en TV-serie av böckerna och första har släppts på DVD, så den har jag köpt! Jag är också glad över att bok 4 är på gång och att J.K. planerar att göra många fler!

the Silkworm

When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective Cormoran Strike. At first, Mrs. Quine just thinks her husband has gone off by himself for a few days--as he has done before--and she wants Strike to find him and bring him home.

But as Strike investigates, it becomes clear that there is more to Quine's disappearance than his wife realizes. The novelist has just completed a manuscript featuring poisonous pen-portraits of almost everyone he knows. If the novel were to be published, it would ruin lives--meaning that there are a lot of people who might want him silenced.

When Quine is found brutally murdered under bizarre circumstances, it becomes a race against time to understand the motivation of a ruthless killer, a killer unlike any Strike has encountered before...

A compulsively readable crime novel with twists at every turn, THE SILKWORM is the second in the highly acclaimed series featuring Cormoran Strike and his determined young assistant, Robin Ellacott.

The cuckoos calling

Jag har läst en bok. Det var ett tag sen...
Skriven av J.K.Rowling. Jag gillar hennes, ibland lite elaka, personporträtt och att hon skriver väldigt detaljerat men aldrig långtråkigt och den oväntade upplösningen!


Detective Cormoran Strike investigates a supermodel's suicide.

After losing his leg to a land mine in Afghanistan, Cormoran Strike is barely scraping by as a private investigator. Strike is down to one client, and creditors are calling. He has also just broken up with his longtime girlfriend and is living in his office.

Then John Bristow walks through his door with an amazing story: His sister, thelegendary supermodel Lula Landry, known to her friends as the Cuckoo, famously fell to her death a few months earlier. The police ruled it a suicide, but John refuses to believe that. The case plunges Strike into the world of multimillionaire beauties, rock-star boyfriends, and desperate designers, and it introduces him to every variety of pleasure, enticement, seduction, and delusion known to man.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Den här boken tog det ett år att läsa. Det är ju inte en bok utan en pjäs och det gör att texten inte blir så beskrivande. Själva storyn är ganska onödig, tycker jag. Den har inte samma djup som de riktiga böckerna, utan är mer ett hopkok av gamla ingridienser.

Harry Potter

Jag vill meddela att jag har lyssnat på Harry Potter-böckerna igen. Bara så jag vet!

The Casual Vacancy

When Barry Fairbrother dies in his early forties, the town of Pagford is left in shock.
Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war.
Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils...Pagford is not what it first seems.
And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations?

 När man väl kommit in i berättelsen och kunde släppa medvetenheten om författaren var den jättebra. En bra historia och bra personporträtt: elaka och ömsinta.
