The Running Grave: Cormoran Strike Book 7

Product Information

That being said the sonnet structure fails, or perhaps evolves beyond, Petrarchan structure as it does not follow the octave/sestet structure. Though, thinking generously one could argue that the prologue for IBH is the final line of TB rather than the beginning line of IBH. We will also have 3 more books to finish the story of Leda & Rokeby (I have no idea what she’ll do about Switch and all the siblings if she does finish with Strike and Robin after book 10).

No, I don’t think “Follow the Money” explains Rowling-Galbraith’s decision making here. It’s just that, if she was inspired to stretch the seven book ring into, say, ten books for reasons of inspiration, artistry, plot demands, etc., it wouldn’t hurt that it also means continuing a financially successful operation both with respect to her novels and Bronte Studios. It’s not, there are actually more than that. The beauty of writing these types of novels is that they each have their own discrete story, so the series is pretty open ended. It will run for as long as I have stories to tell.” Things certainly don’t look good from Strike’s perspective at the beginning of the book, as Robin is enjoying an apparently successful relationship with Ryan Murphy, the C I D officer she met in the last ­volume (and a man much more ­conventionally good-looking than Strike, who – in a description so familiar that it’s come to have the status of a Homeric epithet – is once again described here as “a broken-nosed Beethoven”). Taking into account the fact that Rowling is also juggling writing of the Fantastic Beasts film series — and perhaps some other books — one can assume that Cormoran Strike Book 6 may not arrive until 2022 or 2023 at the earliest.

From this view, all the things you expected in Strike6 on the assumption that it would follow on Strike 5 the way Potter 6 follows Potter 5 or the way Silkworm‘preceded’ Career of Evil will eventually happen but not in the novel we expected. Look for all the things we anticipated to occur in Strike 7 — which will via Strike EP not be an equivalent of Deathly Hallows. Still, I wouldn’t have wanted to miss this, despite the feeling of slight mental indigestion. Strike and Robin remain solid, convincingly drawn characters – the best duo in detective fiction since ­Reginald Hill’s Dalziel and Pascoe – however garrulous their biographer has become. The Universal Humanitarian Church is, on the surface, a peaceable organisation that campaigns for a better world. Yet Strike discovers that beneath the surface there are deeply sinister undertones, and unexplained deaths. My major concern, reading this, is the fear that recent events might have robbed us all of a potential, ongoing Mystery/Detective series. Something, in other words, that could go on to rival, and then, with time, surpass the Hogwarts saga. Everything Rowling has said up till now has pointed to the idea of the Strike series as the main output for the rest of her career, as it was for Christie, or Conan Doyle, for that matter.

Strike EP has as its main contention that Rowling is not creating Book to Book series correspondences (see PSI 1.0) with the Potter novels but that she is instead writing extended parallels over one, two, maybe even three books with each of the first three Strike novels and the last three Potter books. The author has previously said that she intends for there to be many books in the Cormoran Strike series, so there’s no doubt that Book 6 is going to happen. It’s only a question of when. I would use poetry and its structure to describe this duology within the series. I think TB was the lyric verse of the Strike series. It dived deeply into the emotional core of the characters, particularly Robin. In response, IBH was the narrative or descriptive verse of the sonnet. It reminded me of Petrarchan construction (narrative than lyric) in reverse. There is a clear volta between books 6 and 7, as the writing tone changes between the books. Which would make sense with what John said about IBH being planned first. Both books use poetry as their major framing device for all of the different chapters and parts. Finally, TB is 7 parts long, and IBH is 7 parts long, for a total of 14 unique sections.Cormoran Strike Book 6 is expected to take place in 2015, so this tweet would suggest that Rowling has been writing the sixth novel since as early as Spring 2020. While she may have tweeted this before Troubled Blood was released, the fact is that the events of the fifth novel only run between 2013 and 2014.

Strike novel The Running Fans are saying same thing about new Strike novel The Running

Robert Galbraith and J.K. Rowling’s fictional detective series is hotter than ever, and there’s no end in sight. Here’s what we know about the next novel, Cormoran Strike Book 6!

I’m going to count this contribution as a ‘Yes’ vote for Strike EP rather than as disappointment with Strike6 or with those of us who were so mistaken in creating expectations of what it would hold. It’s not yet clear when the book will be published but it’s expected to be on late 2023 (or early 2024). We can’t wait to see what J.K. Rowling has in store for us in this new installment of the Cormoran Strike series. I think that the first four books stand on their own. But, books 5 and 6 are certainly linked together, IBH is certainly the conclusion of the ideas around the roles and framing of Men and Women in society first started in TB. I think all of Rowling’s comments about the length of the Strike series have to be filed away until there is any solid evidence they contain any truth of sufficient substance to comment on. Lonely and desperate, Strike allows himself to be comforted by a randy, loopy lawyer improbably called Bijou, with unfortunate ­consequences. Sadly, he doesn’t know that Robin is detecting in Murphy an unfortunate level of similarity to Matthew, her jealous, controlling ex-husband (this is the reddest of red flags – few writers have ever shown such naked ­loathing for one of their creations as Rowling has for Matthew).
