Saevus Corax Get Away with Murder is the third and final book in the Saevus Corax trilogy, written by K.J. Parker, and published by Orbit Books. A big war is coming, and that means bad news for the stability of Saevus' business; he hopes to get away before all starts, but as usual in the life of our character, soon he's dragged to adventures, as one of the few people from his past reclaim his help: his sister.

Accused of the murder of her husband, she's on the run, desperate for help; Saevus (well, Florian) is her only hope. At this point, you won't be surprised if I tell you this is only the excuse that will take Saevus into a new journey, and even to take one of the "best" employs in the world: treasure hunter; all under the manipulations of his sister, because even after all what he lived, Saevus is a bit naïve. And we even have the return of a beloved character such as the sister Stauracia.

This sequel is partly a continuation, in all the senses, but also the final in Saevus' journey; we maintain the snarky voice and the irony, sprinkling humour into the narration, making it a fun read when you manage to connect with the character. Personally, I loved the development Stauracia had, and I must recognise that Parker made an excellent job at painting the "lovable" family of Saevus.
In comparison with the previous books, I must remark that this one is a bit less light-hearted, leaning towards some really dark moments.

Personally, I found Saevus Corax Get Away with Murder to be the perfect ending for a character I grew fond of it; if you want a different kind of fantasy, you should try the whole trilogy, as K.J. Parker is a master at writing this kind of weird/rare books.
