J.K. Rowling admitted that
Career of Evil, the third installment in Robert Galbraith's Strike mystery novels, was the book she enjoyed writing of all the 11 published novels she's released, including the seven
Harry Potter books.
Rowling, in her acknowledgments after the end of
Career of Evil, stated it was her favourite to write, and that she was quite busy in the last year, juggling the novel along with the screenplay for
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and the upcoming
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child plays.
Quote:
J.K. Rowling: I can’t remember ever enjoying writing a novel more than Career of Evil. This is odd, not only on account of the grisly subject matter, but also because I’ve rarely been busier than over the last twelve months and have had to keep switching between projects, which is not my favorite way to work. Nevertheless, Robert Galbraith has always felt like my own private playground, and he didn’t let me down on this occasion.
Rowling thanked her family, including husband Neil and three children, as well as her PR and publishing team, and friends and colleagues, in the acknowledgment.
