News Publications J.K. Rowling reveals the title for the seventh book in the Cormoran Strike series: THE RUNNING GRAVE January 12, 2023I 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.

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). 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.

I am also so happy to have found, and finally, be able to write on this blog/analysis in real-time. I have spent the better part of this past year reading through the commentary on the Strike and HP Series. This will be my first post on this discussion board, but after finishing IBH on Saturday, my immediate thought was that IBH is Strike’s response to TB, which is Robin’s book. It feels like the two stories are a duology. I even wrote that up in my Goodreads review. While I take the point listed above that IBH is part of a book, I do not think it is part of a book to follow, rather it provides a conclusion to the book which came before.

You may not be the only one to be considering this, Kathleen, but you are certainly the first to say it out loud, even if there will have to be one more book in this set to make ten, say a ‘7C.’ I love this idea and have three reasons for taking it seriously, even embracing it, which I share below the jump, sans spoilers! It’s worth noting that there is also a poem by Dylan Thomas titled “When Like a Running Grave” which could also be used as a reference for the title. Cormoran Strike was approached by Billy, a young man with a troubled past. He claimed to have seen a crime as a child, and Strike and his partner Robin Ellacott decided to investigate. As they searched through bustling London and a sinister manor house, Strike’s newfound fame caused complications in his professional and personal life with Robin. In the end, the case’s resolution provided them with a greater understanding of the truth. Cormoran Strike, a private detective, was visiting his family in Cornwall when he was approached by a woman asking for help finding her mother who disappeared in 1974. Strike and his partner Robin Ellacott took on the case, even though solving a cold case forty years old seemed unlikely. As they investigated Margot’s disappearance, they uncovered a complex case with tarot cards, a serial killer, and unreliable witnesses. In the end, they realized that even cases decades old could be life threatening.Will Robin date Murphy or anyone else? Will Murphy being a recovering alcoholic open up the world of addiction and rehab for JKR to pursue? What could happen is the Met could, on occasion, farm out certain cases for Strike, Robin, and the other personnel to solve in their ample leisure time. Friendly faces in the Yard, such as Wardle, Anstiss, or maybe even Laybourne would possibly find enough case material to send their way. Some of it could even turn out to be bigger than anyone was expecting. The curious part is that, for some strange reason, my imagination insists that the best way to execute this idea is as a series of short stories, rather than novels. The series as structured thus far, as prevailing opinion here holds though Prof Freeman’s pentagram hypothesis demands serious consideration, is a seven book ring or asterisk. The public was told at one point that it was a seven book series. Seventh Strike novel to publish this September, in the tenth anniversary year of the bestselling series by Robert Galbraith

She has also admitted that her assertion that she wasn’t really writing a series per se at all but disjointed novels was also a lie.

New Features

Rowling-Galbraith has presented a moving target with respect to how many books will be in the Strike series. When she was first out-ed as Galbraith, reporters were told it was a seven book series which the author and publishers have been denying ever since, despite the significant textual evidence that the first seven books in this collection will work as a set or ‘ring.’ Rowling-Galbraith decided not to hand over adaptation rights to her Cormoran Strike stories to someone else’s teevee studio or to one of the Hollywood corporations. I think she did this because her experience in her “collaborations” with Warner Brothers have been for the most part disappointing, not to say “humiliating” for her; see Kloves’ comments about their having to “fit the lady to the dress” in making her Fantastic Beasts screenplay into a film. Rowling does not count her screenplays among the books she wrote and has said she does not consider the Potter films to be creative projects for which she can claim any kind of credit (an opinion she shares when told by a fan that they love the movies). If this theory is correct, JKR originally planned to write about the Halvening, and part of that story involved the relationship between artists and fans in the age of the internet. Her prolific imagination, spurred on by some intense experiences she’s had with her own fandom, created a story too complex and long for a single book, so she has expanded her plan and turned “book 6” into parts A and B, so now we have Strike 6 & 7 as a parallel to HP6 and an echo of Silkworm. 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. This possibility fits with her comments about 10 books. It also could answer questions about some “missing elements,” such as the Silver Haired Man, Gigi the hanged singer, the rest of the Halvening story, Strike and Robin deciding to become romantic partners, a deliberate kiss to parallel the hand kiss, Pru, Rokeby, Leda, Switch, etc. I’m sure others can think of additional loose ends, critical steps towards resolving the mystery of Leda’s death, and missing relationship milestones.
